    Abstract: In this study epoxidized vernonia oil (EVO) was synthesized by the epoxidation of vernonia oil using peroxyformic acid, formed in situ by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and formic acid in the presence of an acidic ion exchange resin (Amberlite IR-120 hydrogen form) as the catalyst. This method of epoxidation has resulted in product with about 78... Show More

    Abstract: During coal coking process a great deal of sulfurs are produced and are discarded to surroundings, which makes a lot of lands to be occupied and puts the environment to be polluted. In order to find multi-win production mode of coal coking for resources, surroundings and societies, carbon disulfide as an extracting agent was applied to extract sulf... Show More
