Description

本発明はエステル交換反応用触媒、及びそれを用いる脂肪酸エステルの製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a transesterification catalyst and a method for producing a fatty acid ester using the same.

脂肪酸エステルは、高級アルコール及びエステルスルホネート、アルカノールアミド等の油脂化学製品の製造原料として重要な中間体である。長鎖脂肪酸エステルは、繊維油剤や樹脂添加剤等に用いられる。また脂肪酸メチルエステルは、最近バイオディーゼル燃料として需要が高まっている。   Fatty acid esters are important intermediates as raw materials for the production of oleochemical products such as higher alcohols, ester sulfonates, and alkanolamides. Long chain fatty acid esters are used in fiber oils, resin additives, and the like. In addition, fatty acid methyl ester has recently been in demand as a biodiesel fuel.

脂肪酸エステルは、原料脂肪酸エステルとアルコール又は脂肪酸のエステル交換反応によって製造することができる。従来、エステル交換反応に用いられる触媒は、アルカリ金属水酸化物、アルカリ金属アルコキシド、アルカリ土類金属酸化物、あるいは酸化スズといった両性金属酸化物が使用されてきた。しかしながら、これらの触媒は反応系に溶解するために、反応終了後、水洗による除去あるいは吸着除去が必要であり、生成物への残存を防ぐために煩雑な工程を必要としていた。   The fatty acid ester can be produced by a transesterification reaction between the raw fatty acid ester and alcohol or fatty acid. Conventionally, an amphoteric metal oxide such as an alkali metal hydroxide, an alkali metal alkoxide, an alkaline earth metal oxide, or tin oxide has been used as a catalyst used in the transesterification reaction. However, since these catalysts are dissolved in the reaction system, they need to be removed by water washing or adsorption removal after the completion of the reaction, and complicated steps are required to prevent them from remaining in the product.

これに対し、不均一系触媒を使用することで反応後の触媒分離が容易になるという利点が得られる。その例として、アルミノシリケート(ゼオライト)(特許文献1)やリン酸アルミニウム(特許文献2)等の無機固体酸や、イオン交換樹脂を用いてエステル交換を行う方法が知られている。しかしながら、これらの固体酸を用いた場合、原料の一つとして使用されるアルコールが酸点上で脱水縮合を起こし、エーテルを生成するという反応が併発する。また、強酸点を有するイオン交換樹脂もエステル交換反応用触媒として使用しうるが、樹脂であるため使用可能温度に上限があり、反応温度を高めることによる反応速度の増大に制約がある。

On the other hand, the advantage that the catalyst separation after the reaction is facilitated by using the heterogeneous catalyst can be obtained. As an example, a method of transesterification using an inorganic solid acid such as aluminosilicate (zeolite) (Patent Document 1) or aluminum phosphate (Patent Document 2) or an ion exchange resin is known. However, when these solid acids are used, the reaction that the alcohol used as one of the raw materials undergoes dehydration condensation on the acid sites to produce ethers is accompanied. An ion exchange resin having a strong acid point can also be used as a catalyst for the transesterification reaction, but since it is a resin, there is an upper limit on the usable temperature, and there is a restriction on the increase in reaction rate by increasing the reaction temperature.

These raw material fatty acid esters are preferably fatty acid glycerides, and more preferably natural vegetable oils and animal oils.

本発明において、エステル交換反応は、回分式あるいは連続式のいずれも採用することができる。例えば、反応槽に原料と粉末触媒又は成形触媒を仕込み、回分式に反応を行うことも可能であるし、或いは固定化した触媒を充填した反応塔に、原料を連続的に供給してエステル交換を行わせることもできる。また、反応進行によりグリセリン等の分離液が発生する場合には、これを連続的或いは間欠的に反応系から分離除去することもできる。   In the present invention, the transesterification can be carried out either batchwise or continuously. For example, it is possible to charge a raw material and a powder catalyst or a molded catalyst into a reaction tank and carry out the reaction in a batch system, or to supply a raw material continuously to a reaction tower packed with a fixed catalyst to perform transesterification. Can also be performed. Moreover, when separation liquid, such as glycerol, generate | occur | produces by reaction progress, this can also be isolate | separated and removed from a reaction system continuously or intermittently.

原料脂肪酸エステルに対する、原料脂肪酸あるいは原料アルコールのモル比は、反応速度を高め、平衡を十分に移動せしめるという観点より、化学量論的必要量の1.1倍以上、好ましくは1.5倍以上が好ましい。また、余剰脂肪酸あるいはアルコールの回収量を抑制する観点より、100倍以下が好ましく、30倍以下がより好ましく、10倍以下が特に好ましく、5倍以下が最も好ましい。   The molar ratio of the raw fatty acid or raw alcohol to the raw fatty acid ester is 1.1 times or more, preferably 1.5 times or more of the stoichiometric amount from the viewpoint of increasing the reaction rate and sufficiently moving the equilibrium.

本発明に係わる触媒は高温においても安定であるため、触媒としては反応温度の制限はない。従って、エステル交換反応を行う温度は反応基質に依存し、反応速度を高めるために120℃以上が好ましく、150℃以上がより好ましく、180℃以上が更に好ましい。また、副反応の抑制及び原料や生成物の分解を抑制するために、250℃以下が好ましく、220℃以下がより好ましい。   Since the catalyst according to the present invention is stable even at high temperatures, there is no limitation on the reaction temperature as a catalyst.

反応圧力は、常圧、減圧、加圧のいずれでも行うことができる。常圧の場合は、設備コストを低減することができ、簡便である。減圧の場合は、反応において生成するアルコールあるいは脂肪酸を蒸発により除去できることから、反応平衡上有利となる。加圧の場合、蒸気圧の高い原料を液相で反応せしめることができるため、高濃度反応により反応速度を高めることが可能である。   The reaction pressure can be any of normal pressure, reduced pressure and increased pressure. In the case of normal pressure, the equipment cost can be reduced and it is simple. In the case of reduced pressure, alcohol or fatty acid produced in the reaction can be removed by evaporation, which is advantageous in terms of reaction equilibrium. In the case of pressurization, since a raw material having a high vapor pressure can be reacted in a liquid phase, the reaction rate can be increased by a high concentration reaction.

本発明に係わる触媒の使用量は、反応温度、反応圧力並びに許容される反応時間もしくは滞留時間に依存するため一概に定めることは困難であるが、粉末状触媒の使用においては、原料脂肪酸エステルに対して0.1〜20重量%が好ましく、1〜10重量%がより好ましい。また、該触媒をペレット等の形状に成形した場合には、原料脂肪酸エステルに対して1重量%以上が好ましいが、反応塔に充填するなどの固定床触媒として使用する場合には、触媒量の制限は特にない。   Although the amount of the catalyst according to the present invention depends on the reaction temperature, reaction pressure, and allowable reaction time or residence time, it is difficult to determine it unconditionally. It is preferably 0.1 to 20% by weight, and more preferably 1 to 10% by weight. Further, when the catalyst is formed into a pellet or the like, the amount is preferably 1% by weight or more based on the raw material fatty acid ester, but when used as a fixed bed catalyst such as packed in a reaction tower, the amount of catalyst is There are no particular restrictions.

本発明のエステル交換反応に要する反応時間は、反応温度、反応圧力並びに使用する触媒量に依存するため一概に定めることは困難であるが、経済性や十分な反応の完結を実現するために、回分式では10分間〜10時間が好ましく、1〜6時間がより好ましい。また、連続式では、原料脂肪酸エステル基準の液空間速度(LHSV)が0.02〜5.0/hrが好ましく、0.1〜3.0/hrがより好ましい。   Although the reaction time required for the transesterification reaction of the present invention depends on the reaction temperature, reaction pressure, and the amount of catalyst used, it is difficult to determine unconditionally, but in order to achieve economic efficiency and sufficient completion of the reaction, In the batch system, 10 minutes to 10 hours are preferable, and 1 to 6 hours are more preferable. In the continuous type, the liquid space velocity (LHSV) based on the raw material fatty acid ester is preferably 0.02 to 5.0 / hr, more preferably 0.1 to 3.0 / hr.
