From a morphological perspective, any kind of alcohol-induced fatty liver or alcoholic hepatitis has the potential to develop into cirrhosis. The fibrous ramifications of the various portal fields make contact with one another as well as with other centrilobular fibre formations. This ultimately causes pronounced fibrosis of the liver, which leads to a cirrhotic transformation if alcohol consumption continues, (s. fig. 28.7)... 

Stepan was the first to develop and conunercialize a continuous falling film SO3 sulfonation process. The design is a multitubular unit. The company operates about 12 falling film SO3 sulfonation units in the United States, not only for the production of linear alkyl benzene sulfonates, but substantial amounts of fatty alcohol and fatty alcohol ethoxylates are also sulfated. Other key commercial reactor designs are by Chemithon, Ballestra SpA, Lion, Mazzoni SpA, and Meccaniche Modeme. Several features are common to all falling-film systems. Fatty alcohol and alcohol ethoxylates are reacted at a rate of about 0.3 kg/h/mm with SO3 concentration at about 2-3%. Liquid residence times are estimated at 10-30 s and most units operate with gas velocities in the range of hurricane wind velocities (121-322 km/h). ° Linear alcohols and linear alcohol ethoxylates are by far the easiest to sulfate. Caution is required with branched alcohols as color and conversion can suffer.

Predominantly ecological aspects will have a decisive influence on the continuance and development in the surfactant field, whilst the price, availability and technological properties have, in recent decades, been the main factors in the development of new surfactants and in the optimisation of the types presently known. About 80% of the surfactants used today are based on crude oil. The remainder is provided by natural alcohols and fatty acids. In the long term, major changes can be caused by new aspects with regard to raw material bases. 

In the Godrej-Lurgi process, olefins are produced by dehydration of fatty alcohols on alumina in a continuous vapor-phase process. The reaction is carried out in a specially designed isothermal multitube reactor at a temperature of approximately 300°C and a pressure of 5—10 kPa (0.05—0.10 atm). As the reaction is endothermic, temperature is maintained by circulating externally heated molten salt solution around the reactor tubes. The reaction is sensitive to temperature fluctuations and gradients, hence the need to maintain an isothermal reaction regime. 

Processes for Sulfation of Fatty Alcohols with GISO H. Lauryl alcohol is batch sulfated by gradual addition of CISO H to lauryl alcohol in a glass-lined stirred reactor over about a 2.5-h period at a temperature of 26—32°C. Gaseous HCl is expelled, aided by a slow continuous N2... 

After the first hydrolytic step, secondary alcohols seem to continue biodegradation through ketone, hydroxyketone, and diketone. Diketones then produce a fatty acid and a linear aldehyde which is further oxidized to fatty acid. Finally, these two fatty acids continue biodegradation by enzymatic 3 oxidation [410],... 

Progression of alcoholic liver disease moves through several distinct phases from development of fatty liver to the development of alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis may be reversible with cessation of alcohol intake, but cirrhosis itself is irreversible. Although the scarring of cirrhosis is permanent, maintaining abstinence from alcohol can still decrease complications and slow development to end-stage liver disease.22 Continuing to imbibe speeds the advancement of liver dysfunction and its complications. 

The language used will be the Queen s English or that subset of it as approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). Where chemical names are concerned there are some lost causes, such as caustic soda, where little would be gained if those who clean factories called this substance sodium hydroxide. Arguably, the name caustic soda conveys more useful information. Similar lost causes are spirits of wine (ethyl alcohol or ethanol) and spirits of salts (hydrochloric acid). While lipid chemists may insist on referring to triacylglycerols many people in industry continue to refer to triglycerides. Similarly trivial names for fatty acids such as lauric will continue to be used. The principle in all of this is to use the proper name but to mention other names that are in common use. 

A wide range of anionic surfactants (Fig. 23) has been classified into groups, including alkyl benzene sulfonates (ABS), linear alkyl benzene sulfonates (LAS), alcohol sulfates (AS), alcohol ether sulfates (AES), alkyl phenol ether sulfates (APES), fatty acid amide ether sulfates (FAES), alpha-olefin sulfates (AOS), paraffin sulfonates, alpha sulfonated fatty acids and esters, sulfonated fatty acids and esters, mono- and di-ester sulfosuccinates, sulfosuccinamates, petroleum sulfonates, phosphate esters, and ligno-sulfonates. Of the anionic surfactants, ABS and LAS continue to be the major products of anionic surfactants [314, 324]. Anionic surfactants have been extensively monitored and characterized in various environmental matrices [34,35,45,325-329]. 

To continue the process, the fatty methyl esters are phase-separated from the glycerin (or glycerol—same thing, just to keep you on your toes), washed with water to remove any trace amounts of methanol and glycerin and dried. In a second reaction, the methyl esters are hydrogenated to get the fatty alcohols (in the southeast corner of Figure 15—2). The catalyst is usually a mixture of cupric chromite and cupric oxide in the form of a finely divided powder. Conversion of the triglycerides is about 95%. 

The process involves reacting the degummed oil with an excess of methyl alcohol in the presence of an alkaline catalyst such as sodium or potassium methoxide, reaction products between sodium or potassium hydroxide and methyl alcohol. The reaction is carried out at approximately 150°F under pressure of 20 psi and continues until trans-esterification is complete. Glycerol, free fatty acids and unreacted methyl alcohol are separated from the methyl ester product. The methyl ester is purified by removal of residual methyl alcohol and any other low-boiling-point compounds before its use as biodiesel fuel. From 7.3 lb of soybean oil, 1 gallon of biodiesel fuel can be produced. See FIGURE 12-5. 

Esters are common components in cosmetics and skin-care products. They can be synthesized from fatty acids and alcohols using either chemical or enzymatic reactions. The chemical reactions are normally catalysed by acid catalysts. Enzymatic synthesis is carried out under milder conditions and therefore it provides products of very high purity. A range of esters such as isopropyl palmitate and isopropyl myristate are now produced industrially using enzymatic synthesis. The reactions are carried out in solvent-free systems using an immobilised lipase as catalyst. In order to get high yields in the reactions, water is removed continuously.
