Thermal Degradation of Long Chain Fatty Acids
Charuwat et al.
The thermal hydrolysis of saturated (C16:0 and C18:0) and unsaturated fatty acids (C16:1, C18:1, and C18:2) was investigated at 90 °C to 160 °C for 30 min and 8 h durations. Hydrolysis efficiencies were calculated based on mass yield (i.e., mg/g parent compound), which accounted for all C2–C24 by‐products. Very little degradation (less than 1%) of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) was observed from 30 min thermal hydrolysis. At 140 and 160 °C for 8 h, saturated fatty acids degraded uniformly to C2 to C14. Saturated fatty acids tended to convert to alkanes (1.5–2.0% of total fatty acids) instead of fatty acids (8 h). Thermal hydrolysis did not significantly affect unsaturated LCFA degradation at any duration. The unsaturated by‐products seen were the result of cleavage at the allylic or vinylic positions. Thermal hydrolysis of LCFAs with digested sludge was investigated. The amount of VFAs and LCFAs in primary and secondary sludge was increased at 140 and 160 °C as a result of lipid degradation in the sludge mixture. Thermal hydrolysis of fatty acids with different catalysts was also investigated. Whereas saturated LCFAs were stable under all catalytic conditions, unsaturated LCFAs were nearly completely degraded when hydrolyzed with hydrogen peroxide and activated carbon or copper sulfate.
