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 …

Naturally occurring, glycerol ethers are generally pure enantiomers, and batylic, chimylic,
and selachylic alcohols (Scheme 1) are the major ones which can be found in lipid …

The article underlines and discusses the state-of-the-art accomplishments in the catalytic
conversion of glycerol (1, 2, 3-propanetriol) to fuels and value-added chemicals in the past …

Glycerol acetals from butanal, pentanal, hexanal, octanal and decanal were prepared with
the use of Amberlyst-15 acid resin as catalyst. The glycerol conversion decreases with the …

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

Due to renewable fuel mandates worldwide, the increase in biodiesel production has
caused an oversupply of low-cost glycerol on the markets, which can negatively affect the …

We studied the acetylation of glycerol with acetic anhydride using different solid acid
catalysts. The results indicated that at 60° C, zeolite Beta and K-10 Montmorillonite showed …

The production of biofuel has increased considerably over the last years. Glycerol, a by-
product of biodiesel synthesis, accounts for about 10 wt% of the total mass balance in the …

The acid-catalyzed reaction of glycerol with acetone was studied in the presence of
impurities that might be present in the crude glycerin of biodiesel production. These are …

The effect of temperature, molar ratio and catalyst loading on the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis
of glycerol/acetone ketal (solketal) and glycerol/formaldehyde acetals was studied. The …
