Abstract

Sunflower oil is a renewable resource that can be epoxidized and hydroxylated. Epoxidized and hydroxylated sunflower oil has the potential for use as an environmentally friendly, reactive material in polymeric formulations. Epoxidation and hydroxylation were performed using formic and acetic acid to develop epoxidized oil and alcohol to develop polyol. Some preliminary studies on epoxidation and hydroxylation sunflower seed oil have been carried out. The results from the epoxidized oil showed that, yield is 83%, moisture content is 2.81%, oxirane content is 2.6%, iodine value (IV) is 105, Acid value(AV) KOH(g) /100 g is 5.1, saponification value (SV) KOH(mg) /100g is 186 and for hydroxylated oil showed that yield is 89 %, moisture content is 8.34%, Acid value is 5.036 mgKOH/g, Iodine value is 67 (I2 /g) and Hydroxyl content is 78.36 %. The reaction was monitored and confirmed using FTIR.
