| Abstract | A liquid carbon dioxide counter-current fractionation method was developed to remove by-product fatty acid propyl esters (FAPEs) from the reaction mixture after the partial deacylation of sunflower oil. The fractionation column was 1.2 m long and separations were done at 25 C and 8.27 MPa. Several solvent to feed ratios (S:FR) (i.e., 7.6, 15.2, 30.3 and 60.6 g/g) and feed rates (FR) (i.e., 1, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 mL/min) at a constant S:FR of 15.2 were examined. Raffinate purity (i.e., percentage glycerides) and extract purity (i.e., percentage FAPEs) were both monitored. Percentage glycerides in both the raffinate and the extract increased with S:FR. The raffinate contained ca. 83, 97, 100 and 100% glycerides at S:FRs of 7.6, 15.2, 30.3 and 60.6, respectively. The percentage glycerides in the extracts were ca. 3, 4, 8 and 17%, respectively. With the S:FR held constant at 15.2, the raffinate purity peaked at ca. 99% glycerides at a FR of 2.5 mL/min and the extract at this FR contained ca. 96% FAPEs. The optimal S:FR and FR determined from the experimental assays was applied to large batches in both a semi-continuous feed mode, and later in a continuous feed mode, which gave raffinates of 99.3 and 98.1% glycerides, respectively, and extracts of 97.3 and 97.2% FAPEs, respectively. |
