Catalytic Conversion of Glycerol to Glycerol Carbonate Utilizing CO₂ and Dimethyl Carbonate
… Biodiesel production creates a surplus of crude glycerol, a major bottleneck. Scientists are exploring new, cost-effective uses for this abundant by-product. This research focuses on the catalytic conversion of glycerol to value-added glycerol carbonate using CO2, an abundant, non-toxic …

Doped Layered Phosphate Catalysts for the Activation of Glycerol
Glycerol is a plentiful chemical side-product from many industrial processes including the production of biofuels, simple fermentations and reactions used to synthesise alkenes such as propene. The rising cost of safely disposing of chemical waste is forcing companies to find new and innovative …

Preparation of green non-ionic surfactants from 2,3-epoxy-1-propanol
… surfactants. Glycidol can be produced from glycerol carbonate, an important chemical intermediate which is synthesised via transesterification from glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel manufacture, and dimethyl carbonate. <br/>All of the products presented in this work were prepared by …

Immobilized liquid membranes for facilitated transport and gas separation
… replacing water as the solvent successfully with glycerol. In the present thesis, the relevance of glycerol as an ideal solvent for developing stable ILMs is demonstrated using the separation of olefin-paraffin gas mixtures with silver nitrate-glycerol ILMs. It would be ideal if the use of solvent …
