About this Course
Course Description
Oleochemicals are made from vegetable oil and animal fats feedstocks. They range from fatty acids, glycerine, alcohols and metallic soaps to fatty nitriles and their derivatives. This course is designed to provide the foundation for various processes involve in oleochemistry. It covers the formation of basic oleochemicals such as Fatty Acids, Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), Fatty Alcohols, Fatty Amines and glycerol via various chemical reactions. It also includes the production of upstream chemical products derived from oleochemical feedstocks.
Course Learning Outcomes
1 ) Explain the source, physical and chemical properties of fats and oils
2 ) Discuss the production, modification and application of fats and oils in industries
