This review presents the recent advances involving several applications of five-membered
cyclic carbonates and derivatives. With more than 150 references, it covers the period from …

The biodiesel obtained from nonedible and waste-cooking oils through the
transesterification process has been recognized as a renewable energy source. This …

Glycerol carbonate (GC) is a prominent component in industrial practice and has a
remarkable potential for the sophisticated applications. While GC has come into prominence …

Biodiesel prices could be made competitive with petrol-diesel prices by valorizing its by-
product glycerol. Glycerol carbonate can be derived from glycerol and is one of the widely …

A series of efficient and low-cost Li/ZnO catalysts were prepared by a simple impregnation
method and investigated for the synthesis of glycerol carbonate (GC) from the …

Glycerol, an important by-product from biodiesel production, has significant potential as
platform chemical with several different pathways of value addition being investigated …

Owing to erupted ecological concerns and escalated energy consumption, biodiesel
produced by transesterifying nonedible and used cooking oils has been acknowledged as a …

Aiming to achieve net-zero and negative carbon emissions, an innovative process that
converts CO 2 into glycerol carbonate (GC) through an indirect pathway was rigorously …

The boom of the biodiesel industry has led to an oversupply of by-product glycerol as a
direct consequence, which has been detrimental to its market value. The chemical reactivity …
