Applications of Waste Cooking Oil Other Than
generates about 4.5 million tons WCO per year. In India, the exact amount of WCO generated is not available but according to 20092010 oil consumption configuration about 0.167 million tons of WCO can be predicted. Japan and Ireland produce about 0.450.57 and 0.153 million tons of WCO per year [9].
- Can WCO be used as a plasticizer for PVC?
- As an alternative, WCO is regarded as a good resource instead of edible oil to produce plasticizers for PVC, especially in some developing areas. Similar to structural modification of vegetable oil, reducing the degree of the –C C- unsaturation is still the main approach [Jia et al., 2018; Zheng et al., 2018; Feng et al., 2018].
- What is a renewable plasticizer?
- A renewable plasticizer originated from waste cooking oil (WCO) was developed. The ester and double bonds in WCO was converted to the epoxy groups. The developed plasticizer showed better compatibility with PVC. The plasticizer significantly improved the stability and flexibility of PVC.
- Does epoxidized WCO plasticizer provide better compatibility with PVC?
- While the production of epoxidized WCO plasticizer was reported, very limited information was available on the introduction of epoxy groups to the ester bond in WCO. It is expected that WCO-based plasticizer with a higher epoxy value could provide better compatibility with PVC.
- How are WCO-based plasticizers synthesized?
- Most WCO-based plasticizers were synthesized by a conventional epoxidation approach, where the –C C- bond was converted to the epoxy group with the assistance of peroxy acid. Compared with internal oxirane, the terminal epoxy group in plasticizer enhanced the plasticizing effect and thermal stability of PVC [Chen et al., 2017].
- Is WCO a good alternative to edible oil for PVC plasticizers?
- However, these raw materials, i.e., the edible vegetable oils, are in short supply in some developing countries, thus hampering the wide application of such green plasticizers. As an alternative, WCO is regarded as a good resource instead of edible oil to produce plasticizers for PVC, especially in some developing areas.
- Does a plasticizer improve the stability and flexibility of PVC?
- The plasticizer significantly improved the stability and flexibility of PVC. This paper reported the preparation of a renewable plasticizer originated from waste cooking oil (WCO). The plasticizing effect of the developed material on the properties of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) was studied.
