Integrated Conversion of Coconut and Palm Oils into Bio-Based Chemicals via Hydrolysis and Kolbe Electrolysis

This study presents an integrated two-step synthetic protocol for the conversion of coconut and palm oils into high-value bio-based hydrocarbons, alcohols, and aldehydes. The process employs alkaline hydrolysis followed by Kolbe electrolysis. Under reflux in an EtOH-KOH system, b...
