Zusammenfassung: | THE METHOD FOR THE ESTERIFICATION OF FATTY ACID F IS CARRIED OUT IN A COLUMN (1) WITH A ONE OR MULTI-PART PACKING (3,4) . IN ADDITION TO THE FUNCTION AS A REACTOR, THE PACKAGING HAS THE FUNCTION OF A STRIPPING SECTION. IT IS FORMED AS A REACTION ZONE (3) AT LEAST IN AN UPPER PART, IN WHICH A HETEREGENOUS CATALYSIS OF THE FATTY ACID F IS CARRIED OUT WITH AN ALCOHOL A USED IN THE SAME MOLAR RATIO OR IN EXCESS.A GASEOUS ALCOHOL-RICH COUNTER-FLOW (5) IS PRODUCED IN THE SUMP BY VAPORISATION. WATER IS REMOVED FROM THE REACTION ZONE BY MEANS OF THE COUNTER-FLOW ACTING AS A STRIPPING GAS. THE LOADED STRIPPING GAS (60) IS AT LEAST PARTIALLY LIQUEFIED AT THE HEAD OF THE COLUMN. THE HEAD PRODUCT IS SEPARATED INTO A WATER-RICH FRACTION (63) AS WELL AS AN ALCOHOL-RICH FRACTION (62). THE ALCOHOL-RICH FRACTION IS RETURNED TO THE PROCESS AS A STARTING MATERIAL FOR THE ESTERIFICATION AND FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE STRIPPING GAS. |
