In situ epoxidation of castor oil via peracetic acid mechanism with applied synergistic of sulfate-impregnated zeolite SM–5 as catalyst
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for environmentally friendly epoxides made from vegetable oils, including castor oil. This study aims to produce epoxidized castor oil derived ricinoleic acid (ECORA) with applied synergistic sulfate-impregnated zeolite ZM-5 as catalyst. To date, ther...
