Functionalization of vegetable oils (VOs) including edible, non-edible, and waste cooking oil
(WCOs) to epoxides (EVOs) is receiving great attention by many researchers from academia …

The scarcity of fossil fuels in medium and long term has led to several researchers to
propose different alternatives to replace them, where the biodiesel had been proposed as …

Epoxidation of cottonseed oil by peroxyformic acid (PFA) was studied in a semibatch
calorimeter. This liquid–liquid reaction system is composed of different exothermic steps …

In the past, epoxides were mainly produced from petroleum-based sources. To date, there is
a paucity of studies on the optimization of process parameters specifically epoxidized palm …

Abstract In the Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) field, the concept of Process
Intensification (PI) can be applied using microreactors and millireactors, ie, tubular reaction …

Production of epoxidized vegetable oils becomes more and more important because they
are renewable, nontoxic, and biodegradable chemicals. At the industrial scale, the …

In this study, energy absorption performances of SiC particles during microwave heating
process were analyzed, and effects of SiC loading (20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 g), microwave …

The competitiveness of the biodiesel industry may be improved by adding value through co-
products and integration with the oleochemical industry, especially for novel products such …

Epoxidized vegetable oils are used as chemical intermediates and biolubricants.
Epoxidation of oleic acid as model compound for vegetable oils was performed in a batch …

Carbon neutral biosources are sought for the protection of the environment and to meet the
energy needs of the growing population. For instance, lubricants are required in huge …
