Animal fats chemicals market

Fats and oils of vegetable and animal origin belong to the most important renewable raw materials used in the chemical industry. The fats and oils are mainly applied in human alimentation only 10% of the oils are converted into technical products. The total global market for fats and oils amounts to about 130 million tonnes. Soybean oil (31 million tonnes per year), a by-product of soybean flour production, and palm oil (31 million tonnes per year) are the most important fatty raw materials worldwide. Animal fats (22 million tonnes per year) arise as by-products of meat fabrication and processing and are used for nutrition and technical purposes. [Pg.77]

Archeochemists believe that the first surfactants, soaps, were made from animal fats and wood ashes in Sumeria about 2500 B.C. Soaps remained the detergents used through the millennia and were a relatively scarce item until the advent of modem chemistry in the nineteenth century. Today, the soap, surfactant, and detergent market occupies a major segment of the chemical industry. The U.S. market for detergents is about 11 billion per year, and world production of surfactants is about 15 billion pounds (6.75 million metric tons). [Pg.207]

The sohds remaining after fat removal are generally rich in protein and find a ready market in animal feeds. Some oilseed solids, especially soybean, go into human foods as flours, concentrates, textured particles, or protein isolates. Some oilseed sohds contain toxins or allergens that make them unfit for animal feeds tung nut and castor bean, for example. Unless treated, these solid residues go into fertilizers. Various processes have been developed to remove or chemically destroy undesirable compounds (10). One process developed at Texas A M University for UNIDO (11, 12) uses a chemical additive and extrusion to detoxify and deallergenate castor meal making it suitable for animal feed. [Pg.2512]

Fatty acid epoxides have numerous uses. In particular, oils and fats of vegetable and animal origin represent the greatest proportion of current consumption of renewable raw materials in the chemical industry, providing applications that cannot be met by petrochemicals [64]. Polyether polyols produced from methyl oleate by the Prileshajev epoxidation (using peracetic acid) are an example. Epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) is a mixture of the glycerol esters of epoxidized linoleic, linolenic, and oleic acids. It is used as a plasticizer and stabilizer for poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) [1] and as a stabilizer for PVC resins to improve flexibility, elasticity, and toughness [65]. The ESBO market is second to that of epoxy resins and its world wide production... [Pg.9]

Soaps and detergents represent an interesting and rather different sector. Interesting in that early production of soap, with its demand for alkali, can be viewed as the beginnings of the modern chemical industry. Different from the other sectors in that its products are sold directly to the public and market share probably has more to do with packaging and marketing than the technical properties of the product. Many of its products can be derived from both petrochemical intermediates and from animal and vegetable oils and fats, e.g. alkyl and aryl sulphonates. Chemicals from oils and fats are discussed in section 2.2.4. [Pg.12]
