This work explores the transformation of waste cooking oil (WCO) into epoxidized oil using titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a solid catalyst through an in situ peracid approach. The study focuses on how variations in reaction temperature and catalyst amount affect the relative conversion to oxirane (%RCO). Among the tested conditions, 75 °C produced the highest oxirane yield, suggesting it as the optimal temperature for balancing reactivity and product stability. Furthermore, using 0.25 g of TiO2 catalyst resulted in a better conversion outcome compared to 0.5 g, likely due to reduced side reactions. These findings highlight the potential of TiO2 in driving a cleaner, waste-to-value epoxidation route and offer insight into process parameter optimization for future scale-up.

摘要

This work explores the transformation of waste cooking oil (WCO) into epoxidized oil using titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a solid catalyst through an in situ peracid approach. The study focuses on how variations in reaction temperature and catalyst amount affect the relative conversion to oxirane (%RCO). Among the tested conditions, 75 °C produced the highest oxirane yield, suggesting it as the optimal temperature for balancing reactivity and product stability. Furthermore, using 0.25 g of TiO2 catalyst resulted in a better conversion outcome compared to 0.5 g, likely due to reduced side reactions. These findings highlight the potential of TiO2 in driving a cleaner, waste-to-value epoxidation route and offer insight into process parameter optimization for future scale-up.
