Abstract

Organic epoxy compounds containing acidic impurities formed during an epoxidation reaction, which impurities promote discoloration of the epoxide on heating, are purified by contacting a solution of the epoxy compound in a hydrocarbon immiscible with water at a temperature of 20 DEG to 100 DEG C. with a solution of an alkali metal hydroxide dissolved in a homgeneous mixture of water and an aliphatic alcohol containing up to 6 carbon atoms, the said mixture containing 40 to 60% by weight of water, and the amount of alkali metal hydroxide being in excess of that theoretically required to neutralize all the acidic impurities in the epoxy compound but insufficient to react with the organic epoxy compound under the process conditions, the contacting being continued until at least 50% by weight of the colour-forming impurities have been removed. The process is especially suitable for purifying epoxides prepared by the process of Specification 933,697. Several suitable hydrocarbon solvents and alcohols are specified. Several suitable types of epoxy compound are specified. Examples describe the purification of epoxidized soybean oil.
