Filed:

Feb 14, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/782869

Inventors:

Derk T. A. Huibers - Pennington NJ
Andrew M. Robbins - Trenton NJ
David H. Sullivan - Morrisville PA

Assignee:

Arizona Chemical Company - Jacksonville FL

International Classification:

C09F 100

US Classification:

530205, 530207, 530208

Abstract:

A method is set forth for separating a sterol or sterol ester from crude tall oil comprising fractionating the crude tall oil into a residue fraction and a volatile fraction, wherein the temperature of the residue fraction does not exceed about 290Â C. , and wherein the residue fraction includes the sterol or sterol ester. By application of this method, which can be implemented in existing fractionating equipment or in specially designed pitch collecting apparatuses disclosed herein, the yield of sterols can exceed 50% with respect to the sterols present in crude tall oil. A method is also provided for separating unsaponifiable material from a tall oil stream comprising saponifying the stream with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide to form sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids, rosin acids, or both; evaporating the unsaponifiable material; and acidulating the unevaporated sodium and potassium salts.
