Purification of Oleochemicals

Leading oleochemical industries globally use NORIT® activated carbons to purify glycerin, fatty acids and esters, alcohols, and other derivatives, including medium chain triglycerides.

Our purification products effectively remove:

  • Plant pigments
  • MONG
  • PAH
  • Color precursors/ heat instability causing compounds
  • Reducing substances
  • Odors

For this we supply:

  • Powdered, granular, and extruded grades
  • Different pore structures, and hydrophobic/hydrophilic surfaces, tailored to remove the targeted impurities
  • Grades low in chloride to avoid corrosion
  • Grades ultra-low in chloride to avoid 3-MCPD formation

Spent granular activated carbon (e.g. used to purify glycerin) is often suitable for re-activation by NORIT, followed by re-use. A highly sustainable approach towards purification!
