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 epoxidized group, also known as the oxirane group, can be considered as one of the
most crucial rings in chemistry. Due to the high ring strain and the polarization of the C–O …

Linseed oil is characterized by an elevated concentration of highly unsaturated fatty acids
such as linolenic and linoleic acids. This work has the objective to evaluate the effect of the …

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

Epoxidation of oleic acid by peracetic acid (PAA) was studied in a recycled reactor system
under conventional heating and microwave irradiation. This reaction system consists of …

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 …

In this work, a packed bed reactor with orifice plates (PBR@ OP) was designed and applied
to Prileschajew epoxidation. The reactor performance such as mass/heat transfer and …

The present work reports the use of ultrasonic irradiation for enhancing lipase catalyzed
epoxidation of soybean oil. Higher degree of unsaturated fatty acids, present in the soybean …

The present review articles the most recent efforts, made in the Department of Chemical
Sciences of the University of Naples Federico II, in the catalytic treatment of biomasses …

Epoxidized vegetable oils are largely employed as plasticizers instead of harmful
phthalates, and they can be a sustainable choice to produce lubricants and intermediates …
