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 …

The most recent advances in the use of glycerol and glycerol derivatives as solvents are
reviewed. There are an increasing number of examples of the use of glycerol itself as a …

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 …

A novel catalyst design for the conversion of mono-and disaccharides to lactic acid and its
alkyl esters was developed. The design uses a mesoporous silica, here represented by …

An efficient method for the selective conversion of glycerol, the major byproduct of the
biodiesel manufacturing process, to lactic acid in water via acceptorless dehydrogenation …

Mesoporous silica SBA-15 has been functionalized with sulfonic acid to create highly
powerful heterogeneous solid acid catalysts (SBA-Pr-SO 3 H). The catalyst can be easily …

In this study, calcium oxide-magnetite (CaO-Fe₃O₄) nanocomposites (NCs) were
synthesized from waste inorganic biomass (snail shells) using sequential calcination …

The rapid growth of global biodiesel production requires simultaneous effective utilization of
glycerol obtained as a by-product of the transesterification process. Accumulation of the …

The exponential rise of the biodiesel production has resulted in a considerable amount of
glycerol as a by‐product, which must be valorized to ensure the sector's long‐term viability …

The search for sustainable routes for the production of C3 chemicals by using renewable
feedstocks has attracted significant interest from academic and industrial communities to …
