The increased awareness and demand for green energy sources, such as biodiesel (BD),
have impelled an increase in the production of its byproduct, glycerol, which is now …

During the last years, the industrial significance of renewable resources has highly
increased. The ever‐growing use of fossil resources for energy consumption, polymers, fine …

Glycerol is a byproduct of biodiesel production through transesterification of oils and fat. This
article discusses the chemical transformation of glycerol in ethers, acetals and esters of high …

This study illustrates the purification of end-of-life crude glycerol from a real biodiesel
production process and its conversion into triacetin via esterification with acetic acid. Crude …

We studied the acetylation of glycerol with acetic anhydride using different solid acid
catalysts. The results indicated that at 60° C, zeolite Beta and K-10 Montmorillonite showed …

The increase of remnant of glycerol from biodiesel production results in the need to develop
valorization strategies for this low-cost by-product. In this context, bio-additives synthesis …

An important category of glycerol derivatives, having multiple practical applications, are its
esters with acetic acid (acetates or acetins). The most common preparation method of …

Highly stable and active CeO2-ZrO2 metal oxide catalyst was synthesized via the
combustion method and was further functionalized with sulphate (SO42-) groups. The …

Stricter environmental norms and fossil fuel pollution call for cleaner fuels such as biodiesel.
However, depending on the biomass source, biodiesel combustion may emit pollutants such …

Glycerol acetins (mono-, di-, and tri) are produced via esterification with acetic acid. The
acetins are commercially important industrial chemicals including their application as fuel …
