Phase-Transfer Catalysed Epoxidation of Soybean Oil Using Hydrogen Peroxide and Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

摘要

Epoxidized vegetable oils are the product of vegetable oil epoxidation reactions. Since the epoxidized vegetable oil is a nonpoisonous plasticizer, it has been wildly used in the plastic packaging of food and medicine. Among the various epoxidized vegetable oils, the application of epoxidized soybean oil is broader than others. Nowadays, it's the third largest category of plasticizers. However, there are serious pollution problems in most of the conventional processes of soybean oil epoxidation.
