Glycerol can be converted into acrolein through dehydration employing various catalysts
such as zeolites, metal oxides, heteropoly acids, phosphates and pyrophosphates. Previous …

Glycerol (GL) is a low-cost byproduct of biodiesel industries, which accounts for 10 wt% of
biodiesel generation. As the biodiesel industries grow, the need for GL utilization is also …

The energetic demands of modern society urge a transition that relies on alternative and
sustainable sources. Among the available possibilities focused on mitigating the use of fossil …

Chemical syntheses of industrially important olefins and unsaturated oxygenates from
biomass are reviewed. Their syntheses are discussed in two aspects: common key reactions …

In recent decades, the use of biomass as alternative resources to produce renewable and
sustainable biofuels such as biodiesel has gained attention given the situation of the …

The increase in global biodiesel production, particularly in Brazil, has opened up the
possibility of using glycerol as a feedstock to obtain higher value-added compounds and …

The surplus production of glycerol as a byproduct of biodiesel has become an urgent
problem for the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. The catalytic transformation of …

Direct hydrogenolysis of glycerol to ethanol in liquid phase was studied for the first time in
this work, and the results showed that Pd/CoO x gave high ethanol selectivity and good …

The dehydration of glycerol, a major byproduct from biodiesel production, is a key step for
the production of acetaldehyde. However, the selectivity toward acetaldehyde is presently …

Dehydroxylation of biomass-based platform molecules is critical for obtaining building
blocks for use in the chemical industry. Acid catalytic dehydration has provided a feasible …
