Abstract

In recent years, studies related to the epoxidation of fatty acids have garnered much interest due to the rising demand for eco-friendly epoxides derived from vegetable oils. From the epoxidation reaction, there is a side reaction involving epoxide and water. This reaction produces a by-product – dihydroxystearic acid (C 18 H 36 O 4, DHSA). DHSA is one of the chemical precursors in the production of cosmetic products. Therefore, a kinetic model was developed to determine the optimised epoxidation process and concentration of DHSA, where each of the reactions was identified. The kinetic rate, k parameters obtained were: k 11 = 6.6442, k 12 = 11.0185, k 21 = 0.1026 for epoxidation palm oleic acid, and k 41 = 0.0021, k 51 = 0.0142 in degradation process. The minimum error of the simulation was 0.0937. In addition, DHSA yield optimisation was done through Taguchi method, and the optimum conditions obtained were H 2 O 2 /oleic acid – OA unsaturation molar ratio 1 : 1 (level 2), formic acid – FA/OA unsaturation molar ratio 0.5 : 1 (level 1), temperature 35 °C (level 1), and agitation speed 100 rpm (level 1). A high yield of DHSA can be achieved under these conditions.Posljednjih godina studije povezane s epoksidacijom masnih kiselina izazvale su veliko zanimanje zbog sve veće potražnje za ekološki prihvatljivim epoksidima dobivenim iz biljnih ulja. Iz reakcije epoksidacije dolazi do nuspojave koja uključuje epoksid i vodu. Tom reakcijom nastaje nusproizvod – dihidroksistearinska kiselina (C 18 H 36 O 4, DHSA). DHSA jedan je od kemijskih prekursora u proizvodnji kozmetičkih proizvoda. Stoga je razvijen kinetički model za određivanje optimiranog procesa epoksidacije i koncentracije DHSA, gdje je identificirana svaka od reakcija. Dobiveni parametri kinetičke brzine, k bili su: k 11 = 6,6442, k 12 = 11,0185, k 21 = 0,1026 za epoksidacijsku palmino-oleinsku kiselinu i k 41 = 0,0021, k 51 = 0,0142 u procesu razgradnje. Minimalna pogreška simulacije bila je 0,0937. Uz to, optimizacija prinosa DHSA provedena je Taguchijevom metodom, a dobiveni optimalni uvjeti su molarni omjer nezasićenja H 2 O 2 /oleinske kiseline – OA 1 : 1 (razina 2), molarni omjer nezasićenja mravlje kiseline – FA/OA 0,5 : 1 (razina 1), temperatura 35 °C (razina 1) i brzina miješanja 100 o min –1 (razina 1). Pod tim se uvjetima može postići visok prinos DHSA.
