A mini scale batch reactor for the production of palm‑based polyol

An investigation on a batch production of palm kernel oil polyol (PKO-p) was conducted via esterification and condensation. The process design was thoroughly studied as a preliminary step for future upscaling. The process variables included necessity of vacuum pump, controlling of heating rate, reco...
