Conversion of fatty acid methyl ester to epoxy plasticizer by auto
Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) can be converted to epoxy plasticizer by in situ auto-catalyzed formation of performic acid (PFA) in a bi-phase reaction system. However, mass transfer effect could be neglected in a well-stirred reaction system. A pseudo-homogenous kinetic model was thus developed to describe the kinetics of FAME epoxidation.
A simple approach with scale-up potential towards
This approach involves only a one-step procedure that employs renewable fatty acid methyl esters and cheap chlorine gas as raw materials, thus being of great potential to enable intrinsically flame-retardant bio-plasticizers on a large scale to manufacture functional PVC artificial materials for application in fire-prone scenarios.
Plasticizers Derived from Biomass Resources: A Short Review
With rising environmental concerns and depletion of petrochemical resources, biomass-based chemicals have been paid more attention. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plasticizers derived from biomass resources (vegetable oil, cardanol, vegetable fatty acid, glycerol and citric acid) have been widely studied to replace petroleum-based o-phthalate plasticizers. These bio-based plasticizers mainly include
Lipid content and fatty acid methyl ester profile by
Chemical and physical properties of algal lipid–derived biodiesel showed a compliance with ASTM standards for unmixed biodiesel and the main European regulations (EN 14214 and EN 590) for the

- What are fatty acid methyl ester and China additives?
- Fatty Acid Methyl Ester and China Lubricant, Plastic Additive, China Additives products are commonly for chemical use. A few examples, detergents are products that contain an active substance called surfactants or surface active material.
- Is biodiesel a fatty acid methyl ester?
- 1. Introduction Biodiesel is a mixture of long-chain fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) synthesized by the transesterification of triglycerides with methanol , .
- Can bio-based plasticizers be synthesized by epoxidizing erucic acid fatty acid methyl ester?
- In this study, a bio plasticizer was synthesized by epoxidizing erucic acid fatty acid methyl ester. The final product was compared to a conventional plasticizer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) was used to confirm the structures of bio-based plasticizers (1 H NMR).
- Can epoxidized fatty acid Isobutyl esters be used as biobased plasticizer in PVC?
- However, few studies on the preparation and application of epoxidized fatty acid isobutyl esters (Ep-FABEs) as the biobased plasticizer in PVC were reported. In this paper, a two-step approach, including transesterification and epoxidation, was adopted to prepare Ep-FABEs using biodiesel as the raw material, as shown in Fig. 1.
- Can fatty acid methyl ester of erucic acid be epoxidized?
- The present study described the successful synthesis of epoxidized fatty acid methyl ester of the erucic acid ester by in situ epoxidations of fatty acid methyl ester of erucic acid. The epoxidation yield was very significant at 70 °C temperature with a 1:1.5:05 molar ratio of FAME, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid.
- Can fatty acid esters replace PVC plasticizers?
- This research study will help in the replacement of traditional PVC plasticizers such as citrates and phthalates with fatty acid esters, a green plasticizer that lacks a benzene ring. The main synthetic route is shown in Fig. 1.
