The article underlines and discusses the state-of-the-art accomplishments in the catalytic
conversion of glycerol (1, 2, 3-propanetriol) to fuels and value-added chemicals in the past …

Sustainable renewable energy production is being intensely disputed worldwide because
fossil fuel resources are declining gradually. One solution is biodiesel production via the …

The use of a heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst, which is insoluble and easily separable
during the reaction, is a promising option for hydrolysis reactions from both environmental …

In this paper, several commercial transition metal salts were tested in acetalization reactions
of glycerol with acetone to produce solketal (ie, 2, 2-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolan-4-yl) methanol) …

The selective formation of fuel oxygenates via glycerol acetylation with acetic acid over a
series of yttrium containing SBA-3 catalysts is reported. The products of glycerol acetylation …

In the last three decades, zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional carbon
nanomaterials have attracted significant attention because of their unique electronic, optical …

The transformation of glycerol into high value-added derivatives has been of critical
importance from the viewpoint of sustainable production of biodiesel. Among the reported …

Graphene oxide (GO) has proved to be a highly active and reusable solid acid catalyst for
glycerol esterification with acetic acid in the synthesis of bioadditives diacylglycerol (DAG) …

In this work, the chemical equilibrium of glycerol (G) acetylation with acetic acid (AA) to form
mono-(MAG), di-(DAG) and tri-(TAG) acetylglycerols has been studied. These compounds …

In this work, phosphomolybdic acid salts were synthesized exchanging their protons by the
Sn (II) cations (ie, H 3-x Sn x/2 PMo 12 O 40; x= 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0), and evaluated in the …
