METHOD OF OBTAINING MIXTURE OF HIGHER FATTY ACIDS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C11C1/04 C07C57/02 C07C57/12 C11C1/10 

FIELD: chemistry, organic.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to butterfat industry, namely to methods of processing butterfat raw materials in order to obtain mixture of higher fatty acids, used in petrochemical, paint and varnish, food and other branches of industry. Method of obtaining mixture of higher fatty acids is realised by reagentless hydrolysis of oil in presence of free fatty acids, extracted from oil, with further distillation of obtained fatty acids mixture, free fatty acids being introduced in mixture, which is to be split, in form of distillate, obtained during sunflower oil distillation, mixing it with sunflower oil with the following ratio of constituting components in mixture which is being split, wt %: sunflower oil 55-80; distillated, obtained in sunflower oil distillation - 45-20.

EFFECT: reduction of consumption of sunflower oil in formulation without reducing productivity of reagentless hydrolysis process.
