Optimization on Epoxidation of Palm Olein by Using Performic Acid

Optimization on Epoxidation of Palm Olein by Using Performic Acid

The epoxidation process of palm olein (POo) was carried out by using in situ generated performic acid (HCOOOH) to produce epoxidized palm olein (EPO). HCOOOH was produced by mixing of formic acid (HCOOH) as oxygen carrier and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as oxygen donor in various ratio of POo: HCOOH: H...
