Project description
Creating biobased products from residual fatty acids present in industrial side streams
The EU-funded IRODDI project aims to set up new green processes to obtain bio-based products derived from the free fatty acids contained in the deodoriser distillates residual streams of the deodorisation process, the final step of the refining process of oils and fats. These new products will find multiple uses: as bio-compatible and eco-friendly surfactants, as biodegradable base oils that can be directly used in the formulation of bio-lubricants and as sustainable polyols for polyurethanes production. What is more, the project will work on innovative technologies based on supercritical CO2 and ionic liquids extraction to isolate minor compounds. The outcomes of the project will be used in food-grade detergents (surfactants), bio-lubricants (base oils), adhesives (polyols) and cosmetics (minor compounds such as squalene).
