Title: Improvements in or relating to a process and an apparatus for carrying out the distillation and rectification of fluid mixtures
IPC: B01D47/06
Filed: 1956-12-17
Abstract: 816,522. Distilling and deodorising liquid mixtures by treatment with gases ; purifying fats. RAFFAETA, R. Dec. 17, 1956, No. 38449/56. Classes 32 and 91. In the treatment of liquid mixtures with gases or vapours to separate at least one component of the mixture, the liquid mixture is caused by a recycling process to fall repeatedly under the effect of gravity and in finely divided form through enclosures bounded by vertical perforated walls through which a stripping gas flows transversely to the falling liquid to entrain the more volatile components. The process is particularly applicable to the deodorization of edible oils, e.g. with steam, and to the fractional distillation of fatty acids. An edible oil to be deodorized is introduced at connection 4 and is dispersed in enclosures 1, 2, 3 by sprays 12. The gas enters distributing chamber 9 through inlet 7 and passes successively through the perforated walls of enclosures 3, 2, 1 to outlet chamber 10, condenser 15 and outlet 11. The condensed oil from the condenser is returned to the system by line 16. The liquid from the bottoms of enclosures 1, 2 is returned to the sprays by pumps 5, 6 and cooler 13 or heater 14. The heavy fractions of the mixture are removed at outlet 19 and the light fractions are condensed from the vapours leaving outlet 11. Part of the liquid may be evaporated and the vapours introduced into an intermediate enclosure 18 by connection 17. The liquid may be introduced at connection 20 instead of connection 4, in which case the liquid supply to enclosure 1 consists entirely of condensate from condenser 15. Modifications are described wherein the compartments are arranged coaxially around a central cylindrical chamber to which vacuum is applied through a reflux condenser. In one example, such a modification is used to separate free fatty acids from triglycerides, and also to hydrolyse unstable impurities which give rise to rancidity, by using superheated steam under a vacuum of 2 or 3 mm.

Title: Process for the production of primary alcohols
Inventor: HABESHAW JOHN
IPC: C07C45/50
Filed: 1962-10-16
Abstract: Primary aliphatic alcohols are prepared by dimerising propylene in the presence of a catalyst to form a product containing a substantial proportion of normal hexenes, separating a fraction consisting of normal hexenes, dimerizing the hexene a fraction in the presence of a catalyst, reacting a fraction of the second dimerization product containing the normal hexene dimers in a C10 to C16 range but extending over a range of not more than 5C, with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in an oxosynthesis reaction, hydrogenating the resulting aldehydes and recovering the primary alcohol product.  The first dimerization step may be in the presence of a transition metal oxide e.g. nickel, or chromium oxides, supported e.g. on silica, silica gel, or a silica-alumina at a temperature in the range 20 DEG  to 150 DEG  C. The second dimerisation may also be carried out in the presence of oxides of transition metals e.g. nickel, cobalt manganese or chromium oxides or mixtures thereof, a Ziegler catalyst, or a silica/ alumina catalyst supported as above.  The feed to the second dimerisation step includes other straight chain mono-olefines in the C5 to C8 range.  The olefinic fraction is fed to a high-pressure reactor with water gas and a cobalt catalyst, and the product hydrogenated.  The products on sulphonation give active agents which are more rapidly and completely bis-degradable.
