The boom of the biodiesel industry has ramped up global glycerol production. Unfortunately,
a large portion of the glycerol generated by this growing industry is recklessly discharged …

The depletion of fossil fuels has heightened research and utilization of renewable energy
such as biodiesel. However, this has thrown up another challenge of significant increase in …

In recent years, an increasing amount of interest has been dedicated to the synthesis and
application of ZIF-67-based materials due to their exceptionally high surface area, tunable …

The transformation of glycerol to derivatives has been widely investigated because of the
demand to enhance the value of crude glycerol produced by biodiesel and oleochemical …

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 development of a bio-based plasticizer with good plasticizing performance, migration
resistance, and thermal stability for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is still a notable challenge due …

In this work, Sn (II)-exchanged silicotungstic acid salt (ie, Sn 2 SiW 12 O 40) was
synthesized and evaluated as the catalyst on the acetalization of glycerol with acetone to …

Sulfonated carbon catalysts were prepared by sulfonation of carbonized catkins from willow
under different sulfonated conditions. Such materials were characterized by SEM, EDS, FTIR …

Different solid acid catalysts, sulfonic acid functionalized amorphous and mesoporous
silicas, titania doped silica HMS, sulfated zirconia and niobic acid, were synthesized …

Sulfonated carbon catalysts were synthesized from palm kernel shell biomass using direct,
chemical and template methods of carbonization under CO 2 environment at 400 and 800° …
