Abstract

Anchovy oil has been epoxidized in situ to determine the effect of operating variables on the maximum oxirane oxygen attainable. Variables studied included temperature, catalyst nature and concentration, hydrogen peroxide strength and proportion, and acetic acid proportion. An epoxidized oil with 7.8% epoxy content and iodine value of 1 4.1 can be prepared when operating at 53° to 73° C, using a 33 weight % hydrogen peroxide solution in a proportion of 1.4 moles per mole of ethylenic unsaturation, 15% concentration of styrene-sulfonic resin as catalyst, and acetic acid in the proportion of 0.5 mole per mole of ethylenic unsaturation.
