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

Increases in biodiesel production have led to a surplus of crude glycerol, which represents a
major bottleneck in the biodiesel production chain and has created new challenges to its …

Renewable resources and bio-based feedstocks may present a sustainable alternative to
petrochemical sources to satisfy modern society's ever-increasing demand for energy and …

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 …

This article reviews the recent advances in the development of zeolite catalysts for biomass
valorization processes to produce both biofuels and/or bio-based chemicals, which is an …

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 numerous challenges associated with declining fossil fuel reserves as energy sources,
have accounted for a shift to biofuels as alternatives. However, transesterification of animal …

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 …

Bio-additives obtained from the acetylation of biodiesel-derived glycerol have been
extensively synthesized because of their nature as value-added products and their …
