An efficient plasticizer based on waste cooking oil
The waste cooking oil was used as the main raw materials in this study to synthesize an efficient plasticizer (acetylated‐fatty acid methyl ester‐trimellitic acid ester, AC‐FAME‐TAE). The...
Advances in biotechnological applications of waste cooking oil
In this review, the current efforts into the biotechnological conversion and applications of WCO as feedstock for biofuel, bisabolene, biolubricants, liquid detergents, dishwashing soap and aromatherapy candle, plasticizer, polyurethane foam, surfactants, asphalt rejuvenator are discussed.
A Strategy for Nonmigrating Plasticized PVC Modified with
The mannich base of waste cooking oil methyl ester (WCOME) was synthesized from WCO via esterification, interesterification and mannich reaction, which was used to produce self-plasticization PVC...
A sustainable poly (vinyl chloride) plasticizer derivated
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...
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
A primary plasticizer enhances elongation, softness and flexibility of polymer. They are highly compatible with polymers and can be added in large quantities. For example: up to 50% of vinyl gloves are made up of plasticizers, which make the PVC flexible and soft enough to wear.
- Can WCO be used for preparing internal plasticizer?
- However, WCO can be used for the preparation of fine chemicals such as internal plasticizer. With this aim, this work is focused on preparing internal plasticizer by using WCO and determining technical viability of non-migration poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) materials.
- 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].
- Can WCO be used as a bio-based plasticiser?
- FAME is a kind of ester compound produced by the transesterification of fatty acid with methanol. Therefore, the use of WCO for the synthesis of an efficient bio-based plasticiser in replacing the current petroleum-based plasticiser for the formulation of PVC is feasible.
- 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 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].
