The optimization of RBD palm oil epoxidation process using D-optimal design

The optimization of RBD palm oil epoxidation process using D-optimal design

The epoxidation process of RBD palm oil was carried out using in situ generated performic acid. The effect of various process variables such as the formic acid towards hydrogen peroxide mole ratio, the reaction temperature and the reaction time were optimized by using response surface methodology (R...
