Abstract: Based on the introductions of reaction mechanism and technology of epoxidation reaction for vegetable oils, research progress on catalytic epoxidation of vegetable oil was briefly introduced. Applications of acid catalysts, such as inorganic acid, organic acid, heteropolyacid, ionic exchange resin, aluminium oxide, phase-transfer catalyst, and titanosilicate molecular sieve catalyst in epoxidation of vegetable oil were reviewed. Developing epoxided products based on non-edible vegetable oils is of high potential.

Key words: vegetable oil, epoxidation, catalyst
