Separation of phthalate esters from bio-oil derived from rice husk by a basification-acidification process and column chromatography.
Solid precipitate containing phthalate esters was obtained from rice-husk-derived oil through a basification-acidification process. After separation by column chromatography, the solid precipitate was divided into two mono-component fractions, two bi-component fractions and a tetra-component fraction. The major compounds of the five fractions were all consisted of phthalate esters. Especially, phthalate esters accounted for a proportion higher than 80% in both Fractions I and II. The generation and precipitation mechanisms of phthalate esters were proposed. Phthalate esters were considered to be derived from a series of complicated chemical reactions of small molecules in the biomass pyrolysis process, and precipitated from bio-oil by catalytic hydrolysis and esterification.
