Description
Drying oil is an oil that turns into a solid and hard film after some time when exposed to air. Hardening of the film takes place through a chemical reaction. in which the compounds inside the film create cross-links (polymerization) through interaction with oxygen (not through evaporation of water or other solvents). Drying oils are the key ingredient in oil paints and some varnishes. Some common drying oils include linseed oil, tang oil, anemone seed oil, perilla (purple peppermint) oil, and walnut oil.
Oils are the main raw materials for making alkyd resins. In this project, the conceptual simulation of the drying oil unit has been done with the help of Aspen Hysys software.
