Preparation of Epoxidized Fatty Acid Methyl Ester with in
Epoxidized fatty acid methyl ester (EFAME) is a renewable and biodegradable plasticizer that can be produced from various vegetable oils and even waste oils. In this work, refined soybean oil (RSO) was first converted to fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) by enzymatic transesterification, followed by epoxidation with performic acid in situ generated via auto-catalyzed reaction of formic acid with
Synthesis and properties of castor oil based plasticizers
Plasticizers prepared from vegetable oils mainly include epoxy vegetable oils, 5–8 and epoxidized fatty acid esters. 9 In these types of plasticizers, the presence of the epoxy group makes the plasticizers have a better plasticizing effect on PVC and plays a role as stabilizer. 10 When heated, PVC undergoes autocatalytic dehydrochlorination
Synthesis and Properties of Isosorbide-Based Eco-friendly Plasticizers
In this study, isosorbide-based eco-friendly and effective plasticizers were synthesized and characterized. Isosorbide esterification was conducted using fatty acids with different alkyl-chain lengths; the optimal degree of isosorbide esterification was obtained after 6 h reaction at 220 °C with a short alkyl-chain fatty acid in the presence of the catalyst Ti(OBu)4. Isosorbide-based
Conversion of fatty acid methyl ester to epoxy plasticizer by auto
Among the alternatives of phthalates, epoxidized vegetable oil (EVO) or fatty acid alkyl esters (EFAAEs), typically epoxidized fatty acid methyl esters (EFAMs), are a type of bioplasticizer that can be produced from vegetable oil biomass or its derived FAAEs such as fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) which are also known as biodiesel.
Conversion of fatty acid methyl ester to epoxy plasticizer by auto
Epoxy plasticizer prepared form fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). In situ formed performic acid as an oxygen carrier. Mass transfer was not a limiting step. Pseudo-homogeneous kinetic model developed for epoxidation. Decomposition of performic acid could not be neglected.
- What is epoxy fatty acid methyl ester (efame)?
- Epoxy Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (EFAME) is a versatile, bio-based plasticizer derived from natural oils. It serves as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional phthalate plasticizers, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers and suppliers in the plastic and polymer industries who are focused on sustainability and environmental compliance.
- 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 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.
- 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 bio plasticizers be used in polymer applications?
- Using bio plasticizers with nontoxicity and excellent biocompatibility in a wide range of polymer applications is becoming increasingly important. 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.
- Can Epoxidized vegetable oils replace phthalate esters?
- According to current studies, epoxidized vegetable oils are one of the alternatives that are strongly suggested to replace phthalate esters since they have been demonstrated to be valid in a variety of applications, eco-friendly, and a renewable resource.
