Abstract
The thermal polymerization reaction kinetics of anchovy oil was investigated with and without catalyst. In order to make a comparison, linseed oil was included in the study. Reactions were carried out 260, 270, and 280°C, and a kinetic model was determined for each case. The reactions for linseed oil with and without catalyst at all temperatures followed the first-order kinetics. In the case of anchovy oil, the best-fitted straight line is obtained by plotting viscosity values against time, and the reaction proceeds in two stages at 280°C without catalyst. The use of catalyst lowered the temperature to 270°C for the appearance of two different rates. Additionally, some mathematical equations were derived between iodine value, refractive index, viscosity, and reaction time.
