“…Regarding the reconversion of WCOs, they can be used as main raw materials in many industrial processes, such as bio-lubricant [14] or fuel [15][16][17] production, or as additives for asphalts [18] and animal feed [19]. Other possible employments of WCOs are strictly related to their chemical compositions.…”

Recently, the interest in converting waste cooking oils (WCOs) to raw materials has grown exponentially. The driving force of such a trend is mainly represented by the increasing number of WCO applications, combined with the definition, in many countries, of new regulations on waste management. From an industrial perspective, the simple chemical composition of WCOs make them suitable as valuable chemical building blocks, in fuel, materials, and lubricant productions. The sustainability of such applications is sprightly related to proper recycling procedures. In this context, the development of new recycling processes, as well as the optimization of the existing ones, represents a priority for applied chemistry, chemical engineering, and material science. With the aim of providing useful updates to the scientific community involved in vegetable oil processing, the current available technologies for WCO recycling are herein reported, described, and discussed. In detail, two main types of WCO treatments will be considered: chemical transformations, to exploit the chemical functional groups present in the waste for the synthesis of added value products, and physical treatments as extraction, filtration, and distillation procedures. The first part, regarding chemical synthesis, will be connected mostly to the production of fuels. The second part, concerning physical treatments, will focus on bio-lubricant production. Moreover, during the description of filtering procedures, a special focus will be given to the development and applicability of new materials and technologies for WCO treatments.

“…Biodiesel production and animal rendering industries have emerged as two modern examples of sustainable science that portends a bright future for a green economy . Challenges remain for these industries to find productive uses for some low value, high‐volume waste products such as acid oil, brown grease, and rancid animal fat byproducts, all of which have a high free fatty acid content .…”

Efforts to develop sustainable industrial processes have led to significant advances toward supplanting petrochemical-dependent technologies. Some of these otherwise sustainable processes, notably animal product rendering and biodiesel production, produce low value waste that is high in free fatty acids. Sulfur in turn is a primary waste product of fossil fuel refining. In the current contribution, copolymers are prepared by reaction of elemental sulfur with fatty acids in several monomer ratios. Both monounsaturated oleic acid and bis(unsaturated) linoleic acid were evaluated to assess the extent to which copolymer properties relate to the degree of unsaturation of the fatty acid comonomer. Furthermore, copolymers prepared from technical grade versus pure linoleic acid were compared to evaluate the viability of the considerably more affordable technical grade monomer. The thermal and mechanical properties of the copolymers were assessed by thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis.
