Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of edible oil degumming and silica refining.
- Crude edible oils as obtained by pressing and/or extracting oil containing products mainly consist of triglycerides.
- triglycerides Apart from these triglycerides a number of other compounds are present, like diglycerides, phospholipids, tocopherols, sterols and sterol esters, free fatty acids, hydroperoxides, odour imparting substances, colour imparting substances and metal compounds.
- Some of these compounds like phospholipids, free fatty acids, odour imparting substances, colour imparting substances, peroxides and some metal compounds have to be removed because of the negative effect they have on the taste, smell, appearance and stability of the oil.
- a so-called dry degumming process is usually applied to crude oil containing relatively low amounts of phospholipids.
- the oil is contacted with concentrated acids following part of the added acid is neutralized with sodium silicate, generating a gel and some soap.
- the mixture is then stirred with silica hydrogel and slowly dried at moderate vacuum.
- the gums are strongly adsorbed in the hydrogel and are further removed by filtration.
- the metal compounds are removed simultaneously.
- silica hydrogel In the silica refining process the silica hydrogel is used to remove soaps and some residual phospholipids from the neutral oil, thus replacing washing. This treatment before bleaching reduces the bleaching earth dosage.
- the degumming agent used in such process is silica hydrogel which is relatively expensive. Furthermore, after use of this hydrogel it becomes useless for any practical purpose, generating a solid effluent containing all the impurities and some oil.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a process for regenerating spent silica hydrogel.
- spent silica hydrogel can be regenerated by:
- the goal of contacting of the used hydrogel with a solvent is to leach out the used hydrogel and thereby removing, among other components, the phosphatides.
- the leached hydrogel can easily be separated from the solvent by e.g. filtration and is subsequently desolventised at elevated temperatures.
- the hydrogel itself and the capacity of the hydrogel to bind phosphatides can be fully regenerated. Furthermore, the regeneration can be repeated for several times without substantial efficiency losses.
- the phosphatides and oil that were leached out of the spent hydrogel can be extracted from the solvent and the solvent can be recovered.
- the process of the present invention provides for an economy of costs, as well as being environmental friendly.
- the polar solvent used in the above process is an alcohol.
- the polar solvent is anhydrous ethanol.
- the polar solvent is advantageously isopropanol.
- the alkane used in the above mentioned process is preferably a commercial alkane, selected from hexane, isopentane, methylpentane or dibutylpentane.
- alkanes When these alkanes are used in a mixture with a polar solvent they are preferably used in a ratio of alkane to polar solvent of 5/95 to 95/5 (w/w) .
- alkane/polar solvent ratio is 50/50 (w/w)
- isopropanol/ water mixture which is preferably used in a ratio of isopropanol to water of 90/10 to 100/0 (w/w) .
- isopropanol can be diluted with water as well as being anhydrous.
- the spent hydrogel was regenerated with different solvents: anhydrous ethanol, anhydrous isopropanol, hexane and a hexane/anhydrous ethanol (50/50 w/w) mixture.
- the regenerations were done using a hydrogel/solvent ratio of 1/2 (w/w) .
- the spent hydrogel was mixed with the solvent for 5 minutes.
- the extraction temperature was 60°C when pure hexane and a hexane/alcohol mixture were used and 75°C using anhydrous ethanol and anhydrous isopropanol.
- the suspension was filtered in a Buchner funnel and the cake was washed in the same filter with part of the solvent.
- the regenerated hydrogel was desolventized in an oven at 70°C.
- the degumming was done as described in example 1. Regeneration was carried out using the mixture of hexane/anhydrous ethanol. The solvent/spent hydrogel ratio was of 1/2 (w/w) . The regeneration was done by stirring the solvent with the spent hydrogel at 60°C for 5 minutes. The suspension was filtered and washed with part of the solvent. Regeneration was carried out for several times and the hydrogel was re used. Each subsequent degumming processes was carried out using 0.9% of regenerated hydrogel and 0.1% of fresh (Obtainable from Joseph Crosfield & Sons under the trade name R110) hydrogel.
- Example 2 was repeated, but instead of hexane/anhydrous ethanol anhydrous isopropanol was used. Table 3 shows that result of this experiment.
