The review will discuss the methods that have been optimized so far for the enzymatic
hydrolysis of soapstock into enriched mixtures of free fatty acids, in order to offer a …

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

Most of the base oils used in lubricant formulations are typically derived from mineral oils,
which are inherently harmful to the environment. For this reason, the aim of this study was to …

Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) is a vital organic renewable chemical material widely used in
the preparation of biomaterials. In this paper, a novel amphiphilic phase transfer catalyst [(C …

Solvent-free continuous flow epoxidation of the alkene bonds of a range of biorenewable
terpene substrates have been carried out using a recyclable tungsten-based …

Abstract Titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) zeolite was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal
method in the presence of the tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) template, and a …

Soapstock recovery and manipulation represent one of the most burdensome aspects of the
vegetable seed oil refining industry. In particular, soapstock splitting requires high amounts …

The epoxidation of soybean oil is a relevant reaction to produce epoxidized soybean oil
(ESO), a plasticizer component for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The reaction is industrially …

A continuous reactor for the epoxidation of soybean oil has been considered in various
studies, with various designs. In practice, the existing commercial plants continue to use …
