Menshhein, Guilherme published the artcileConcentration of renewable products of crude bio-oil from thermal cracking of the methyl esters in castor oil, Application of Methyl octanoate, the main research area is crude bio methyl ester castor oil thermal cracking.
Castor oil has been widely used as raw material to obtain compounds such as paints, solvents, rubbers, polyurethane polymers and chem. inputs. Then, one highlighted route is thermal cracking of castor oil to produce bio-oil, mainly composed of heptaldehyde and Me undecenoate, which are used as precursors of lactones in the food and beverage industry. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the separation heptaldehyde and Me undecenoate by distillation of bio-oil from thermal cracking of the Me esters in castor oil (MECO). Distilled fractions were analyzed by gas chromatog. (GC). Thus, it was possible to concentrate the fractions of heptaldehyde and Me undecenoate in a section with a distillation system at atm. pressure with a distillation rate of 5.0 mL min-1 at 270°C, which motivates new researches for up-scaling of the process.
Renewable Energy published new progress about Lactones Role: OCU (Occurrence, Unclassified), OCCU (Occurrence). 111-11-5 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Methyl octanoate, and the molecular formula is C9H18O2, Application of Methyl octanoate.
