Safety Criteria for the Epoxydation of Soybean Oil in Fed-Batch Reactor

Safety Criteria for the Epoxydation of Soybean Oil in Fed-Batch Reactor

The epoxidation of soybean oil is industrially carried out by using peroxyacid generated in situ by reacting concentrated hydrogen peroxide with acetic or formic acid, in the presence of a mineral acid as a catalyst. The reaction is generally highly exothermic and an excessive increase of temperatur...
