Catalytic developments in the epoxidation of vegetable oils

  • What are epoxidized vegetable oils?
  • Epoxidized vegetable oils (EVOs) have drawn much attention in recent years in the chemical industry since they are environmentally friendly, biodegradable, renewable, highly available and non-toxic. Four major types of catalysts are used to produce epoxidized fatty acid compounds: homogeneous, heterogeneous, polyoxometalates and lipases.
  • Are epoxidized vegetable oils good for the environment?
  • Epoxidized vegetable oils obtained from either edible or nonedible vegetable oil have drawn extensive attention ascribing to the inherent nature of good biodegradability, renewableness, nontoxicity, and environmental friendliness.
  • Is vegetable oil epoxidation a good alternative?
  • However, this method gives poor selectivity toward epoxides and causes severe corrosion to reactors. Efficient and recyclable heterogeneous metal-based materials have become promising alternatives for vegetable oil epoxidation due to the good activity and selectivity in the absence of any corrosive acids.
  • Do Epoxidized vegetable oils react with a disulfide-based aromatic dicarboxylic acid?
  • This work reports for the first time the copolymerization studies of 11 newly synthesized epoxidized vegetable oils (EVOs) that reacted with a disulfide-based aromatic dicarboxylic acid (DCA) to produce thermoset materials with recyclability properties.
