Abstract:Epoxidized palm oleic acid is often regarded as a highly valuable oleochemical due to its wide range of industrial applications, including cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical products. In this study, oleic acid derived from palm oil with iodine value of 98.99 g/100 g, containing 75 % of oleic acid, 12 % of linoleic acid, 6.5 % of palmitic acid, and 6.5 % of stearic acid was epoxidised by in situ generated performic acid with hydrogen peroxide as oxygen donor and formic acid as active oxygen carrier in… Show more

Epoxidized oleic acid was considered a more sustainable alternative to traditional plasticizers such as phthalates, which have been linked to potential health and environmental hazards. This study aims to synthesize and characterize the formation of dihydroxystearic acid (DHSA) from the ring opening of epoxidized oleic acid. The optimal reaction parameters to produce DHSA were found using sulfuric acid as catalyst in which the maximum relative conversion was reached up to 86%. The detection of hydroxyl group was using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Then, a mathematical model was developed using MATLAB software, and as a result the kinetic model provided a good description of the reaction process, and it could be used to predict the behavior of the reaction under different conditions. Overall, the optimal reaction conditions and the maximum relative conversion of palm oleic acid to oxirane, are important contributions to the field of green chemistry.
“…10 Several methods of reactions have been discovered to modify vegetable oils into alternative compounds, which are hydroxylation, carboxylation, oxidation, and halogenation. 11 However, these approaches have several drawbacks making the epoxidation method the best approach due to its high reactivity of the oxirane group. Heterogeneous catalysts are solid catalysts that can be used in the epoxidation of vegetable oils to increase the yield of epoxidized oils.…”

Epoxidized vegetable oils can produce a natural‐based polymer product as chemical reaction intermediates, plasticisers, and stabilizers in polyvinyl chloride. This study aims to identify the effects of using different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and the effect of different molar ratios of hydrogen peroxide on relative conversion to oxirane. Epoxidized palm oil was produced in situ using performic acid as epoxidation agents and titanium dioxide as a catalyst. The results indicated that a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide at 50% concentration and the ratio of 2:1 of hydrogen peroxide to palm oil used in the in situ epoxidation of had provided a higher relative conversion to oxirane (50%) in reaction time (70 min). Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of an oxirane group at 1200 cm−1. Numerical kinetic modeling was developed with applied genetic algorithm optimization to find the process model that fit experimental data. Then, the kinetic rate, k parameters obtained k11 = 0.031 mol L−1 min−1, k12 = 3.159 mol L−1 min−1, k2 = 2.620 mol L−1 min−1 for epoxidation palm oil, and k3 = 1.19 × 10−5 mol L−1 min−1 in degradation process.
