Patent number: 10351588Abstract: Method of recovering sterols from tall oil pitch which contains steryl esters. In the method the tall oil pitch is subjected to a transefterification reaction with a lower alcohol in a reaction zone to provide a reaction product mixture containing lower alkyl fatty acid esters, free sterols, and at least some unreacted steryl esters. The invention comprises separating the transesterified esters from the reaction product mixture to form a sterol rich fraction which contains free sterols and unreacted steryl esters, liberating sterols from the unreacted steryl esters to form further free sterols, and recovering and optionally purifying the free sterols. The recovery of free sterols can be increased to up to 80 wt % or more while avoiding the formation of undesired side streams containing troublesome impurities.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: FORCHEM OYJInventors: Juha Orte, Mikko Rintola

Patent number: 9624442Abstract: A method of treating tall oil pitch. In the present method, part of the fatty acids and the resin acids are released from their sterol esters and wood alcohol esters and converted into methanol esters or ethanol esters. The transesterified products are removed from the pitch by evaporation and then condensed, and by hydrogenating the generated condensate the acids are decarboxylated and the double bonds are satisfied. It is possible to use the present method to produce automotive fuel from tall oil pitch.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: FORCHEM OYJInventors: Juhani Saviainen, Mikko Rintola, Timo Saarenko

Publication number: 20160298054Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing soap from fatty and resin acids, in particular from tall oil fatty acid comprising resin acids. The method is based on a process in which the water conventionally utilized for saponification is partially replaced with a solvent that decreases the viscosity of the reaction mixture and results in a high dry matter content of the reaction product. An object of the invention is also a composition comprising fatty and resin acid soap and its use as a disinfectant or antiseptic agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2014Publication date: October 13, 2016Applicant: Forchem OyInventors: Mikko RINTOLA, Juha ORTE

Patent number: 8865922Abstract: A method of treating tall oil pitch, which comprises sterol esters of fatty acids. According to the present invention, the esters of sterols and fatty acids are broken down, in which case especially formic acid esters or acetic acid esters of sterols are formed instead. The free fatty acids and sterol esters generated are distilled or separated in another way. Use of the present invention increases the yield of fatty acids and also facilitates the separation of sterols from tall oil pitch.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Forchem OyInventors: Esko Kiviranta, Juhani Saviainen, Mikko Rintola
