Abstract

The invention relates to the preparation of low-viscosity ester mixtures for transesterification of vegetable or animal fats or oils with monofunctional esters.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A process for preparing ester mixtures comprising reacting triglycerides with alkyl or cycloalkyl esters of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic monocarboxylic acids. 
     
     
         2 . The process of  claim 1 , wherein said triglycerides are triesters of glycerol with C6- to C22-carboxylic acids. 
     
     
         3 . The process of  claim 2 , wherein said triesters of glycerol are free of OH groups and have 6 or less olefinic double bonds. 
     
     
         4 . The process of  claim 1 , wherein said alkyl or cycloalkyl esters are free of OH groups. 
     
     
         5 . The process of  claim 1 , wherein said alkyl or cycloalkyl esters are linear or branched alkyl esters of monofunctional aliphatic carboxylic acids. 
     
     
         6 . The process of  claim 1 , wherein said alkyl or cycloalkyl esters are butyl acetate, ethyl propionate, or mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The process of  claim 1 , wherein said process is carried out in the presence of at least one catalyst. 
     
     
         8 . An ester mixture prepared by the process of  claim 2 . 
     
     
         9 . The ester mixture of  claim 8 , wherein said ester mixture has a shear viscosity of 12 to 50 mPa·s at 23° C. and solidification points below 0° C. 
     
     
         10 . A solvent comprising the ester mixture of  claim 8 . 
     
     
         11 . An auxiliary comprising the ester mixture of  claim 8 . 
     
     
         12 . A process agent comprising the ester mixture of  claim 8 . 
     
     
         13 . A fuel for internal combustion engines comprising the ester mixture of  claim 8 . 
     
     
         14 . A solvent comprising the ester mixture of  claim 9 . 
     
     
         15 . An auxiliary comprising the ester mixture of  claim 9 . 
     
     
         16 . A process agent comprising the ester mixture of  claim 9 . 
     
     
         17 . A fuel for internal combustion engines comprising the ester mixture of  claim 9 .
