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

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) using heterogeneous catalysts has received considerable
attention as a way of converting biomass-derived oxygenates into renewable fuels and …

Mono-functional catalytic materials are used for many types of chemical transformations, but
are tedious for delivering products from multiple-step reactions required for the valorization …

Catalytic dehydration is one of the possible reactions to valorize the large amounts of
glycerol yielding from the transesterification process. Thus, since the biodiesel boom in 2004 …

The significant surge in biodiesel production by transesterification of edible or non-edible
oils have caused surplus of glycerol in the market. With its characteristics, unique structure …

The article underlines and discusses the state-of-the-art accomplishments in the catalytic
conversion of glycerol (1, 2, 3-propanetriol) to fuels and value-added chemicals in the past …

The valuable products produced from glycerol transformation have become a research route
that attracted considerable benefits owing to their huge volumes in recent decades (as a …

Hypothetical monolayer loadings of niobium and tungsten oxide supported on alumina,
silica, and titania were investigated as catalysts for the dehydration of glycerol to produce …

The projected rise in global biodiesel production and demands inevitably implied a linear
rise in glycerol production. The paper therefore critically tailored recent literature on the …

Hydrogeneolysis of glycerol to propylene glycol has high interest due to cost and ease of
availability of glycerol. In this study, Cu: Zn: Cr: Zr based catalyst was used for selective …
