    摘要: A method of remediating pesticides from an agricultural oil includes mixing a reaction solvent, a reducing agent, and an agricultural oil into a reaction mixture in a reaction vessel, controlling the temperature of the reaction mixture, producing a pre-neutralization mixture including a separation solvent, transferring the pre-neutralization mixture into a neutralization reactor that contains a neutralization agent, mixing the pre-neutralization mixture with the neutralization agent and allowing separation into an aqueous layer and a separation solvent layer, draining the aqueous layer, and distilling the separation solvent in the separation solvent layer from the remediated agricultural oils. A system has a reactor vessel, the reactor vessel having one or more inlets to allow a reducing agent, the agricultural oil, the separation solvent, and other additives as needed to produce a reaction mixture, a temperature control unit to control a temperature of the reaction mixture at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, a neutralization vessel fluidically connected to the reactor vessel to receive the reaction mixture from the reactor vessel, the neutralization vessel having an inlet to allow a neutralization agent to be introduced into the neutralization vessel to produce a neutralized reaction mixture, and a valve arranged at a bottom of the neutralization vessel to allow an aqueous phase of the reaction mixture to be drained from the neutralization vessel.

    摘要: The present invention is concerned with a method of extracting oxidized lipids from a lipid solution, the method comprising (a) a derivatisation step, comprising contacting a derivatisation agent with the lipid solution such that aldehydic oxidized lipids and/or α,β-unsaturated oxidised lipids, if present in the lipid solution, are derivatised to include an anionic group, and (b) an oxidised lipid capture step, in which nanoparticles are contacted with the lipid solution, wherein the nanoparticles capture anionic-group containing oxidised lipids. The invention also includes a method of extracting aldehydic oxidized phospholipids from a lipid solution, the method comprising (a) a derivatisation step, comprising introduction of a anionic group to aldehydic oxidized lipids and/or α,β-unsaturated oxidised lipids in the lipid solution, and (b) an oxidised lipid capture step, in which nanoparticles are contacted with the lipid solution, wherein the nanoparticles bind anionic-group containing oxidised lipids.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for vegetable oil deacidification by enzymatic amidation, which relates to the field of oil refining technology. The present invention is carried out through mixing high acid value vegetable oil with ethanolamine at a certain molar ratio in a solvent or solvent-free system, adding with a certain amount of lipase, and reacting at certain temperature for a period of time. The monoethanolamine has been used as an acyl donor for the first time to react with free fatty acid, which avoids the increasing amount of by-products and great loss of neutral oil in reaction that involved with triglycerides. The method of the present invention has the advantages of high selectivity, high catalytic efficiency, and environment friendly in the reaction. From enzymes recycling, it greatly reduces costs, which shows tremendous potential in the application.
