The production of future transportation fuels and chemicals requires the deployment of new
catalytic processes that transform biomass into valuable products under competitive …

The projected growth of biodiesel world production has led to an increasing interest in
finding new routes to valorize the large amount of glycerol produced linked to this biofuel …

Mesoporous iron (III) carboxylate [MIL-100 (Fe)] has been successfully synthesized by a
simple unappreciated low-temperature (< 100° C) route via the reaction of ferric nitrate and …

The boom of the biodiesel industry has led to an oversupply of by-product glycerol as a
direct consequence, which has been detrimental to its market value. The chemical reactivity …

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 …

Four recently launched cyclic glycerol acetals or ketals are evaluated as bio-based solvents.
Three of them are industrially available and result from the condensation of glycerol with …

The acetalization of glycerol with acetone is an effective way to obtain high value-added
solketal. In this work, a series of zirconium organophosphonate with special flower-like …

Biodiesel appears as one of the most promising and feasible alternatives among the non-
conventional sources of energy; however, its production ends up with a huge amount of …

Solid SnF 2 was able to catalyze the glycerol ketalization with propanone giving solketal (ie
2, 2-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolane-4-methanol) in reactions with high conversions and …

In this work, the main results of a thermodynamic and kinetic study of glycerol ketalization to
produce solketal in the presence of a solvent are presented. A catalyst and a solvent …
