Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 10,199. Reuter, B. E. April 30. Fatty acids and glycerine, obtaining by decomposing fats and fatty oils; fatty acids, purifying.-In decomposing fats and oils into fatty acids and glycerine by heating them in the form of emulsions with an organic catalyser, particularly the sulpho-fatty acid known as Twitchell's reagent, successive charges of the catalyser are used, each charge being insufficient to decompose the fat &c. completely. The fat &c. is first boiled with a small quantity of sulphuric acid in a wash-tank A fitted with a steam-jet coil 12, and, if desired, a stirring- device. After settling, the acid water is run off, and the fat is led to a closed saponification tank C fitted with a steam-jet coil 21 and an agitator c'. The fat is boiled with about 20 per cent of distilled water and À2-À4 per cent of Twitchell's reagent. The charge should contnin from À03-1À0 per cent of acid; if necessary, sulphuric acid is added until the requisite acidity is reached. After the charge has boiled for about 12 hours, steam is shut off from the pipe 21, and the charge is allowed to settle, steam being meanwhile admitted by a pipe 7 in order to prevent access of air. Sulphuric acid may be added to cut the emulsion and thus facilitate the settling operation. After the settling is complete, the glycerine water is run off, and the treatment with catalyser is repeated till the decomposition is complete. The fatty acids may afterwards be bleached in a tank E in the manner described in Specification 27,867/13.
