Abstract:Canola oil can serve as a substitute for polyol in the production of eco-friendly polyurethane. The aim of this study is to investigate the optimal conditions for the epoxidation of canola oil via the Taguchi optimization method. To date, there is no published work on optimization of process parameters for epoxidized canola oil production using the Taguchi method. In this study, the epoxidation of canola oil was performed using in situ-generated peracetic acid. Peracetic acid was formed by the reaction between… Show more
