A green and environmentally friendly route of no thinning agent was designed to prepare sebacic acid. Sodium ricinoleate was selected as the raw material to carry out solid-phase cleavage in a tubular furnace. The reaction parameters including catalyst, ratio of sodium ricinoleate/KOH, reaction time, reaction temperature, and absolute pressure were optimized to obtain a high yield of sebacic acid. A satisfactory yield (70.2%) of sebacic acid was received in the presence of 1% catalyst (Fe 2 O 3 ) by weight (w/w), with 5:4 (w/w) ratio of sodium ricinoleate/KOH at 543 K under the absolute pressure of 0.09 MPa in 60 min. Sebacic acid was identified by gas chromatography analysis, and the purity (98.1%) of the product was further assessed by its melting point (306.3 K). Alkaline enhancement generates a better cracking effect. The yield of sebacic acid can be improved by a certain absolute pressure as a result of avoiding oxidation of sodium ricinoleate as well as reducing the residence time of hydrogen.
