A continuous process for the oxidative cleavage of vegetable oils containing triglycerides of unsaturated carboxylic acids, to obtain saturated carboxylic acids, comprising feeding to a first continuous reactor a vegetable oil, an oxidizing compound and catalyst capable of catalyzing the oxidation reaction of the olefinic double bond to obtain an intermediate compound containing vicinal diols: feeding to a second continuous reactor said intermediate compound, a compound containing oxygen and a catalyst capable of catalyzing the oxidation reaction of the vicinal diols to carboxylic groups, to obtain saturated monocarboxylic acids (i) and triglycerides containing saturated carboxylic acids with more than one acid function (ii); separating the saturated monocarboxylic acids (i) from the triglycerides (ii); hydrolyzing in a third reactor the triglycerides (ii) to obtain glycerol and saturated carboxylic acids with more than one acid function; and purifying said saturated carboxylic acids by fractioned crystallization by means of wash column (melt crystallization).

Described herein is a polymerized petroleum based or biorenewable oil obtain by blowing and an optional stripping process, comprising a polymeric distribution having about 2 to about 80 wt % oligomer content and a polydispersity index ranging from about 1.0 to about 20.0. Methods of manufacturing the polymerized oil as well as its incorporation into asphalt, roofing, and coating applications are also described.

Disclosed herein are coatings and methods of making and use thereof. For example, disclosed herein are epoxy coatings comprising a (co)polymer derived from an epoxide and an epoxide curing agent; wherein the epoxide comprises an epoxidized biomass oil. Also disclosed herein are non-isocyanate polyurethane coatings comprising a (co)polymer derived from an cyclocarbonate and an amine curing agent; wherein the cyclocarbonate is derived from an epoxidized biomass oil. In the coatings described herein, the epoxidized biomass oil comprises an oil extracted from a biomass, which is an extracted biomass oil, and wherein said extracted biomass oil has been epoxidized; wherein the biomass comprises food waste, coffee beans, or a combination thereof.

A method for producing a blown and stripped biorenewable oil is provided. The method may include the steps of (a) heating a biorenewable oil to at least 90 C.; (b) exposing an oxygen containing stream to the heated oil to produce a blown oil having a viscosity of at least 40 cSt at 40 C.; (c) adding a base metal catalyst to the blown oil; and (d) stripping the blown oil from step (c) until the stripped oil has an acid value of from about 1 mg KOH/g to about 20 mg KOH/g; wherein the stripped oil from step (d) has a flash point of at least 220 C.

The disclosure provides bio-asphalt, bio-asphalt compositions and a method for preparing them. It belongs to the technical field of asphalt material. The method of the disclosure uses bio-oil as the raw material, adopts a combination of extraction process and oxidation process to prepare bio-asphalt, and modifies the product obtained from bio-oil by extraction process or bio-asphalt with ordinary petroleum asphalt and/or aromatic hydrocarbon oil and a macromolecular material to obtain a bio-asphalt composition.

A method can include receiving an oxygenate sample, fractioning the oxygenate sample into one or more fractions, and separating the fractions (e.g. using FAME fractionation, FAEE fractionation, crystallization, solvent extraction, or other similar methods). The fractions can optionally be separated independently. The method can optionally include esterifying carboxylic acids separated from the fractions with glycerol and deodorizing the glycerides.

Methods for making diverse high-quality biolubricants using carboxylic acid and dicarboxylic acids produced from ozone cracking of lipids. The method can include reacting a fatty acid with one or more alcohols, diols, and/or triols to esterify the fatty acid to form esters having a viscosity index of from 100 to 185, according to ASTM-D2270. The methods can also include reacting a carboxylic acid and/or dicarboxylic acid with one or more alcohols, diols, and/or triols to esterify the acid to form one or more diesters and/or oligoesters having a viscosity index of from 100 to 185, according to ASTM D 2270. The carboxylic acids and dicarboxylic acids can be nonanoic acid, malonic acid, propanoic acid, hexanoic acid, and azelaic acid, and can be derived from oxidation of one or more lipids by ozone cracking.
