Assessing The Suitability Of Ricinodendron Heudelotii Seed Oil For Paint Formulation
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 7
Abstract
The oil from the seeds of Ricinodendron heudelotii (Njangsa) was extracted with n-hexane in soxhlet extractor and was analyzed. The percentage oil yield of the seeds was 52%. The oil quality parameters of the seed were; iodine value; 165.8g/100g oil, peroxide value; 7.2meq/kg, density; 0.91g/m3 , acid value; 0.39, saponification value; 189.3mg/g of KOH, pH value; 6.7, moisture content; 6.0, drying time; 48 hours under ambient temperature and 8 hours in an oven. Ultraviolet analysis was carried out at 210nm-665nm and FTIR analysis was carried out at 1050cm-1 – 4329.7cm-1 for fresh and dried oil and the results showed that the C=C double bonds were converted to peroxy groups. It was concluded that the Ricinodendron heulodelotii seed oil could be a good binder for making (formulation) of oil paints for surface coating.
