Abstract: Epoxided rubber seed oil (ERSO) was prepared from rubber seed oil (RSO) by using heterogeneous mesoporous molecular sieve Ti-SBA-15 as catalyst. The influences of catalyst dosage, the oxidant tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), reaction time and reaction temperature on the epoxidation of RSO were discussed. Results showed that the ERSO with epoxy value of 68.9 mmol/g was obtained with the dosage of RSO 0.062% (mole fraction, based on the mole value of RSO), the molar ratio for TBHP to RSO 1.3:1, reaction time 6 h and reaction temperature 70℃. Under these optimal conditions, the RSO conversion was 82.22%, and the conversion of double bond was 69.93%. Furthermore, the formation of epoxy group was confirmed by FT-IR.
