The properties and uses
of palm kernel oil in the field of chemical production raw materials
Abstract:
This paper introduces in detail the properties and uses of palm kernel oil in the field of chemical production raw materials. Through the discussion of the properties, composition and characteristics of palm kernel oil, its wide application in many chemical fields, such as surfactant, biodiesel, lubricating oil, cosmetics and so on, was expounded.

1. the properties of palm kernel oil

Palm kernel oil is a kind of vegetable oil extracted from the kernel of palm fruit, the main component is fatty acid glyceride. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as lauric acid, myristic acid and palmitic acid. These fatty acids have excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability, which makes palm kernel oil show good stability in high temperature and oxidation environment.

In addition, palm kernel oil also has the characteristics of low viscosity, good lubricity, non-toxic and harmless, so that it has a high application value in the production of chemical products.

2. The use of palm kernel oil

1. Surfactant

Palm kernel oil can be used as a raw material for surfactants, mainly used in the production of soaps and detergents. Due to its rich fatty acid composition, palm kernel oil has excellent foaming and detergency, and can effectively remove grease and stains from clothing and skin.

2. Biodiesel

Palm kernel oil can be used as the raw material of biodiesel, transesterification reaction with methanol or ethanol and other alcohols to generate biodiesel. Biodiesel has the advantages of renewable and environmental protection, which can reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and reduce environmental pollution.

3. Lubricating oil

Palm kernel oil has good lubricity and can be used as a raw material for lubricating oil for lubrication of mechanical equipment. Due to its excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability, palm kernel oil can maintain good lubrication performance in high temperature and high pressure environments and extend the service life of mechanical equipment.

4. cosmetic

palm kernel oil has the effect of moisturizing skin, moisturizing and antioxidant, can be used as raw materials for cosmetics, used in the production of skin care products and cosmetics. Because of its non-toxic, harmless and high safety, palm kernel oil is widely used in the cosmetics industry.

3. conclusion

palm kernel oil as an excellent chemical production raw material, has a wide range of uses and high application value. Through the in-depth understanding of the nature and composition of palm kernel oil, we can better play its role in the production of chemical products and promote the sustainable development of the chemical industry.
