Studies using sustainable and environmentally friendly raw materials are prominent among researchers due to rising environmental concerns.
This study aimed to produce epoxidized corn oil using in situ peracid formation, with Amberlite IR-120H as a catalyst, alongside acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
Expoxidized corn oil was produced in situ with acetic acid as an epoxidation agent and Amberlite as a catalyst. Results: The results showed that using a 50% concentration of hydrogen peroxide and a 0.5:1 molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to corn oil achieved the highest Relative Conversion to Oxirane (RCO).
In situ epoxidation resulted in a higher relative conversion to oxirane in reaction time (60 minutes).
Lastly, numerical simulations were executed employing a genetic algorithm, and the outcomes exhibited a noteworthy congruence between the simulated data and the empirical observations.
