The ever increasing industrial production of commodity and specialty chemicals inexorably
depletes the finite primary fossil resources available on Earth. The forecast of population …

This review intends to provide the reader with a clear and concise overview of how
preparative continuous flow organic chemistry could potentially impact on current important …

The valuable products produced from glycerol transformation have become a research route
that attracted considerable benefits owing to their huge volumes in recent decades (as a …

The conversion of glycerol, the main byproduct of the biodiesel industry, to acrylic acid is
one of the most attractive biomass to biochemical processes. It represents millions of tons of …

In the current context of transitioning to more sustainable chemical processes, the upgrading
of biobased platform molecules (ie, the chemical transformation of widely available low …

Acrylic acid is one of the most desired products from bioglycerol. In this work, we
demonstrated that Keggin-type heteropoly compounds (HPCs) act as efficient bifunctional …

The present work deals with the catalytic performance of a series of supported niobium
oxide (1–12 wt% Nb 2 O 5) catalysts in the gas phase dehydration of glycerol. The niobium …

The direct oxidative dehydrogenation of lactates with molecular oxygen is a “greener”
alternative for producing pyruvates. Here we report a one-pot synthesis of mesoporous …

The dehydration of glycerol to acrolein is a useful approach for the value-added conversion
of bio-diesel derived glycerol. To improve the acrolein yield, the transition metal hydrogen …

Glycerol as major by-product of biodiesel production cab be converted to high-value added
materials such as acrolein. The details of this transformation mechanism is obscure using …
