1. 【Application (Patent) Number】 CN01107895.2 【Application Date】 2001.03.12 【Title】 A Method for Producing Biodiesel 【Publication (Announcement) Number】 CN1374370 【Publication (Announcement) Date】 2002.10.16 【Main Classification Number】 C10G3/00 【Classification Number】 C10G3/00 【Applicant (Patent Holder)] Lin Huachao 【Address】 No. 780–800, Jiahe Road, Huli District, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, 361009 【Inventor (Designer)] Lin Huachao 【Patent Agency】 Xiamen Chuangshou Junhe Patent Agency Co., Ltd. 【Agent】 Zhang Songting 【Abstract】 This invention provides a method for producing biodiesel. It uses acidified vegetable oil, sewage oil, and recycled frying oil as raw materials; after esterification, the methyl ester is distilled under vacuum. An appropriate amount of polymerization inhibitor is added during the distillation process to prevent further polymerization of the methyl ester, thereby increasing its yield. During the distillation process after the esterification reaction, the distillate is cooled to 0°C; after filtering out the precipitated substances, the resulting liquid is fuel methyl ester (i.e., biodiesel). The performance parameters of this biodiesel are similar to those of 0# diesel, making it suitable as a substitute for 0# diesel. This invention provides excellent environmental protection benefits. 【Claim】 Claim 1: A method for producing biodiesel, which uses esterified vegetable oils, sewage oil, and recycled frying oil as raw materials; after methylation, the methyl ester is distilled under vacuum to obtain biodiesel, characterized in that an anti-polymerization agent, boric acid, is added during vacuum distillation. Note: Unauthorized.   2. 【Application (Patent) Number】 CN02115477.5 【Application Date】 2002.01.25 【Title】 Process for Producing Biodiesel from Waste Animal and Plant Oils 【Publication (Announcement) Number】 CN1382762 【Publication (Announcement) Date】 2002.12.04 【Main Classification Number】 C10G3/00 【Classification Number】 C10G3/00 【Applicants (Patent Holders)] Ye Huodong; Ding Yitian 【Address】 Zhuoyue Chemical Co., Ltd., Xieyang Industrial Zone, Longyan City, Fujian Province, 364000 【Inventors (Designers)] Ye Huodong; Ding Yitian 【Abstract】 This invention relates to a process for producing biodiesel from waste animal and plant oils. It involves the alcoholysis and esterification of waste animal and plant oils with different acid values in the presence of an acidic catalyst ; Then, the excess components that are not part of the product are separated out to obtain the crude product ; Saturated brine containing 10% soda ash is added to the crude product to carry out a neutralization reaction, yielding a washed crude ester. Finally, industrial soda ash is added to this washed crude ester and heated for distillation; the fraction with a vapor temperature of 22–320°C is collected to obtain the finished biodiesel. This invention features a wide range of available raw materials, a simple production process, low costs, no pollution, and safe and reliable use. No wastewater is generated during its production process, meeting current domestic environmental protection requirements. Biodiesel produced using the process of this invention has been validated through pilot-scale tests, showing good performance and being fully capable of replacing mineral diesel. Replacing mineral diesel with vegetable and animal oils will make diesel production renewable and facilitate the industrialization of agriculture. 【Claim】 Claim 1. A process for producing biodiesel from waste animal and vegetable oils, characterized in that: in the presence of an acidic catalyst, alcohol catalysts are added to waste animal and vegetable oils with different acid values to carry out alcoholysis and esterification reactions, thereby obtaining a crude ester ; After allowing the synthesized crude ester to stand, the excess components that are not part of the product are separated, yielding the crude product ; To the crude product, saturated salt water containing 10% soda ash is added to carry out a neutralization reaction, resulting in a washed crude ester. Finally, this washed crude ester is subjected to heat distillation; the fraction with a vapor temperature of 220–320°C is collected to obtain the final biodiesel product.

In this method, a 3–4 stage fixed-bed enzyme reactor is used for continuous transesterification reactions. The raw oil is first added to the first fixed-bed enzyme reactor, along with methanol; the molar ratio of alcohol to oil is 0.5–1:1.

This process is repeated, and after completion of the reactions, the final products are separated to yield the finished biodiesel. Using inexpensive oils as raw materials, this invention enables waste utilization and reduces the production cost of biodiesel. Using lipase and microbial cells as catalysts, this invention simplifies the raw material processing and product recovery processes, reduces the reaction temperature, prevents the catalyst from contaminating the reaction byproduct glycerol, and results in no pollutant emissions. The product quality of this invention meets the international standards for biodiesel.   【Main Title】 1.
