Production of polyols and mono-ols from 10 North-American vegetable oils by ozonolysis and hydrogenation: A characterization study – M.-J. Dumont, E. Kharraz, and Hong Qi – Industrial Crops and Products 2013

Summary: The production of polyols from unrefined vegetable oils by the ozonolysis–hydrogenation process is reported for the first time. The resulting polyols and mono-ols were characterized by GC-FID, DSC, GPC, HPLC, and their acid and hydroxyl numbers, viscosity and molecular weight distribution were determined. Results showed that the physical properties of the refined vegetable oils were different from the unrefined ...

Chemical, Thermal Stability, Seal Swell, and Emissions Studies of Alternative Jet Fuels – E. Corporan, T. Edwards, L. Shafer, M. J. DeWitt, C. Klingshirn, S. Zabarnick, Z. West, R. Striebich, J. Graham, and J. Klein – Energy & Fuels 2011

Summary: A description of laboratory evaluations of six alternative (nonpetroleum) jet fuel candidates derived from coal, natural gas, camelina, and animal fat. Three of the fuels were produced via Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, while the other three were produced via extensive hydroprocessing. In general, this study demonstrates that paraffinic fuels derived from different feedstocks and produced via FT synthesis or hydroprocessing ...

Producing Stable Pyrolysis Liquids from the Oil-Seed Presscakes of Mustard Family Plants: Pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) and Camelina (Camelina sativa) – A. A. Boateng, C. A. Mullen, and N. M. Goldberg – Energy & Fuels 2010

Summary: Natural oil from non-food oil seeds, such as camelina, jatropha, and pennycress, is increasingly becoming the feedstock of choice for biodiesel production through transesterification to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) and green diesel via catalytic hydrotreating. We carried out fast pyrolysis of the entire value chain of two of the mustard family oil seeds, pennycress and camelina, and found ...

Hybrid nanocomposites based on POSS and networks of methacrylated camelina oil and various PEG derivatives – B. Balanuca, A. Lungu, A.-M. Hanganu, L. R. Stan, E. Vasile, and H. Iovu – European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology 2014

Summary: Several photo‐curable hybrid systems based on methacrylate‐modified camelina oil (CO) were synthesized through a copolymerization reaction with hydrophilic dimethacrylated poly(ethylene glycol) macromonomers.  Practical applications: Tailoring the copolymer composition and the reinforcing agent in the manufacturing process leads to a wide range of products with optimum properties suitable for use in a variety of industrial areas.
