Abstract:
A process for separation of specific tocopherols from a mixture of tocopherols is disclosed. The process includes methods of separation of the tocopherols from residues of vegetable oil refining and other various food sources by dissolving in organic solvents and eluting over ionic and non-ionic adsorbent resins.
Abstract:
Processes for desalting glycerol-rich solutions or process streams using electrodialysis are provided. The glycerol-rich process streams are typically byproducts from the production of biodiesel. Following electrodialysis, the resulting aqueous salt solution is placed in a water splitting cell to recover the acid and base components of the salt. These acid and base components, in turn, can be reused in other processes, such as biodiesel production.
