超临界甲醇酯交换法制备生物柴油研究进展

超临界甲醇法制备生物柴油是动、植物油脂与超临界甲醇发生酯交换反应生成脂肪酸甲酯的工艺。与传统的酸、碱催化法以及酶催化法等技术相比,超临界酯交换反应具有不需要催化剂、反应速度快、产物分离简单等突出特点。缺点在于反应温度和压力条件不够温和,对设备要求较高,操作费用可观。如何从系统工程的角度发挥其优点、克服缺点,则是未来该项技术能否实现工业化应用的关键。回顾了该技术的研究进展,重点对过程的影响因素进行了分析讨论。

Advancement of Biodiesel Production by Use of Supercritical Methanol Technology

The novel methods are discussed for producing fatty acid methyl ester via the reaction of vegetable oils or fats with supercritical methanol.Compared with the traditional chemical methods,the acid,alkali,enzyme method,the supercritical method requires short reaction time and no catalyst.What's more,the purification procedure is more simple.
