The effects of pyrolysis temperature, space‐velocity, and dilution ratio of starting materials on the reaction have been studied in the pyrolysis of methyl ricinoleate. The reaction parameters were optimized to obtain yield ranges of 25.8–26.7% for heptaldehyde and 45.7–46.5% for methyl undecenoate. The kinetic study showed that pyrolysis of methyl ricinoleate is a first‐order reaction at 828–878 K, and the activation energy is 1.729×105 j/mol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
