Abstract

In this work, catfish fat by-product was utilized as feedstock in the synthesis of biological base oils. The study performs the effect of parameters on the reaction yield. 91.2% in (H2O2/CH3COOH/C=C) molar ratio of 4.5/1.5/1.0, the temperature of 50 oC, and 3 hours reaction time. The yield of the ring-opening reaction of epoxy with acetic anhydride reached at 90.2% in (acetic anhydride/epoxy) molar ratio of 1.5/1.0, the temperature of 95 oC, and 4.5 hours reaction time. The main functional groups of catfish oil starting material, epoxy catfish oil, and polyester catfish oil final product were identified by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectral analysis methods. The observed results show that the catfish oil epoxidation reaction with a mixture of H2O2 and CH3COOH and the ring-opening reaction of epoxy with (CH3CO)2O, H2SO4 catalyst has occurred strongly and obtained product of catfish polyester oil could use as an alternative to mineral base oils and an environmentally friendly product.
