Abstract
The operating conditions imposed during decolorization can lead to undesirable changes in the physico-chemical properties of the treated oils. In this context, to reduce the harmful effects of acid earths, a new decolorization process, using ultrasonic waves, was developed by limiting the contact time of these earths with the oils and operating at low temperatures. A study of the influence of these two parameters on physico-chemical properties in general and on minor compounds, particularly phenolic compounds, was carried out.
The ultrasonic wave decolorization process offers excellent performance. It's a fast, clean, economical process that limits the undesirable effects of acidic earth and temperature. The results obtained are very favorable to the large-scale extrapolation of this process. It is, however, necessary to carry out continuous trials on a suitably designed pilot plant to judge the technical and economic feasibility of the ultrasonic wave activation process for Tunisian clays.
