Abstract

Malenisation of soybean oil with maleic anhydride was investigated.The effect of variations in weight percent ratio of reactants on rate of reaction has been studied. Sodium bisulphate and sodium bisulphite are used as catalyst for the malenisation of soybean oil. The reaction kinetics is estimated for soybean oil – maleic anhydride ranging from 75:25 to 90:10. The optimum conditions are found to be 85:15 soybean oil:maleic anhydride weight percent ratio and 2 % catalyst at 2300C for 330 minutes with conversion of 82.48% and yield of 95%.
