Abstract

The synthesis of vegetable oil-based polyols has been carried out through the epoxidation-hydroxylation process. However, Tung oil has never been explored in the process, even though Tung oil has a high double bond. Epoxidized Tung Oil (ETO) with oxirane numbers of 3.92 to 4.04 mmol/g were hydroxylated with methanol and catalyzed by Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4). The objective of this study is to produce polyols from ETO and to evaluate the influence of temperature and catalyst concentration on the hydroxylation process. A second-order reaction kinetic study was also developed to represent the reaction. The ETO hydroxylation was carried out in a batch reactor for four hours. The reaction rate was determined based on the concentration of ETO (oxirane number) and Hydroxyl Value (OHV). The result shows that temperature and catalyst concentration have a directly proportional correlation to OHV and are inversely proportional to the concentration of ETO (epoxy). For temperatures above 40 degrees C, the decreasing rate of t
