METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING ALDEHYDES FROM ORGANIC SEED OILS

摘要

Methods for generating aldehyde=containing compounds in organic seed oils utilizing ozone and direct current without the use of added electrolytes and reducing compounds are disclosed, as are compositions generated by such methods. The reactions can be performed efficiently at ambient temperatures and pressures. These compositions have particular utility as additives to fuels and lubricating oils derived from petrochemical sources.
