The epoxidized plant oil(EPO) has wide application prospect, because it is renewable and environmentally friendly biomass resource. In recent years, the research on epoxidation of plant oil mainly focus on the development of new catalytic system. The research progress in catalyst of epoxidized plant oil was reviewed, including liquid acid catalyst, solid acid catalyst and enzyme catalyst, etc. Meanwhile, the present catalytic system was analyzed briefly. Also, the advantages, problems and development direction in the future of various catalysts were pointed out. |
