Vegetable biomass is generated from CO2 and H2O using sunlight as the energy source,
producing O2 as a subproduct. The primary products formed are C6-and C5-sugars that …

Lignocellulose is the most abundant non-food biomass and is used as a feedstock for the
production of chemicals. Lignocellulose consists of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, in …

New opportunities for the conversion of glycerol into value-added chemicals have emerged
in recent years as a result of glycerol's unique structure, properties, bioavailability, and …

Most of biobased polyols for polyurethanes are synthesized from vegetable oils. In the first
part, the present review goes into details of these different synthetic routes to obtain polyols …

Although glycerol has been a well-known renewable chemical for centuries, its commercial
relevance has increased considerably in the last few years because of its rising inevitable …

This paper addresses the challenges in developing a sustainable biodiesel industry
especially in Malaysia. The challenges discussed in this paper are divided into three main …

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 …

An increase in glycerol production is expected because of the increasing use of fuel
additives such as methyl esters. This increase can enhance the importance of glycerol as a …

The catalytic activity for the production of biodiesel with three morphologically different
nanocrystalline MgO materials prepared using simple, green and reproducible methods was …

Synthesis of fine and specialty chemicals involving heterogeneous catalysts is discussed
according to the type of reactions (eg, hydrogenation, oxidation, isomerization, etc.) for …
