This review provides in-depth coverage of numerous mechanisms available for the
etherification process of glycerol, including alcohol solvent, olefin solvent and solvent-free …

Ethers synthesized from biomass‐derived compounds have exceptional properties as fuels,
lubricants, and specialty chemicals and can serve as replacements for petroleum‐derived …

Waste oils are becoming increasingly more important as feedstock for the production of fuels
and chemicals. However, the high level of impurities in waste oils limits their use in …

Production of glyceric acid (GLA) by the oxidation of glycerol is a promising green and
efficient process, which could replace conventional biological fermentation with low …

The increase in biodiesel production has resulted in the oversupply of glycerol into the
market. Purified and processed glycerol has found many direct applications in …

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 …

Sulfonated carbons have been prepared from an important waste in Andalusia, the olive
stones. The sulfonic acid groups incorporation has been made by sulfuric acid treatment and …

The development of processes based on the integration of new technologies is of growing
interest to industrial catalysis. Recently, significant efforts have been focused on the design …

The expansion of biodiesel industry is expected to introduce over three million tons of
glycerol into the market in 2020. Various routes have been proposed to produce glycerol …

The etherification of glycerol with tert-butyl alcohol has been carried out in the liquid-phase
on different sulfonic acid functionalized hybrid silicas obtained by oxidative cleavage of …
