Abstract
The effects of pyrolysis temperature, space-velocity, and dilution rat io of starting materials on the reaction have been studied in the pyro lysis of methyl ricinoleate. The reaction parameters were optimized to obtain yield ranges of 25.8-26.7% for heptaldehyde and 45.7-46.5% for methyl undecenoate. The kinetic study showed that pyrolysis of methyl ricinoleate is a first-order reaction at 828-878 K, and the activatio n energy is 1.729 x 10(5) J/mol.
