Catalytic hydrolysis of soya oil with carbon adsorbents

摘要

In order to approve the possibility for side reactions the catalytic activity of carbon absorbents intended for adsorgants and hemosorbents in the process of the hydrolysis of soya bean oil under conditions similar to those in the human body is investigated. It was established that the oxidized carbons with acid reaction accelerate the hydrolysis of the oil. Activated carbons with basic reaction have no effect on the process. The Cu2+ form of the oxidized anthracite catalyses the oxidation as well as the hydrolysis of the soya bean oil. The hydrolitic process is controlled mainly by the chemical factors (the amount of oxygen containing acidic groups). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. References: 12
