Green and Efficient Modification of Grape Seed Oil to Synthesize Renewable Monomers

Grape seed is a waste product from the wine and juice industries. However, vegetable oil can be extracted it, which renewable chemical with huge potential application after modifications, such as epoxidation maleinization processes. This paper therefore deals use of grape oil, to produce its epoxidized maleinized derivatives. Both derivatives were synthesized in order improve conversion (99.4%), yield (98.9%) selectivity (99.5%) values, well decrease reaction time (3 h) using cleaner energy sources heterogeneous catalysts, used 4× without regeneration obtaining similar at least 5× keeping high selectivity. Based on characterization results, both may applied different fields, including polymer chemistry monomer, coating, paint. In addition, they an option industries that petrochemical precursors.
