The epoxidation of the unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in biodiesel with H2O2 was investigated at 323 K in the liquid phase over microporous nano-sized TS-1 as well as micro-/mesoporous nano-sized TS-1.

TS-1-based catalysts with different textural features, namely layered TS-1, pillared TS-1, and Ti-pillared TS-1 as well as mesoporous TS-1, were investigated in the liquid-phase epoxidation of methyl oleate as a model compound for plant oil-derived substrates with hydrogen peroxide at 50 °C.
