Crude glycerol is a low-value byproduct which is primarily obtained from the biodiesel
production process. Its composition is significantly different from that of pure glycerol. Crude …

It is a 21st century challenge to develop a more sustainable chemical industry where fossil-
based resources are, where possible, preferentially replaced by renewable alternatives. Bio …

Biorefinery, the sustainable processing of biomass into a spectrum of marketable products
and energy, is compared to petrochemical refineries. The economic value of biomass …

Interest in liquid-phase reactions over heterogeneous catalysts is growing rapidly, partially
because of the desire to find efficient methods for biomass conversion to renewable fuels …

The numerous parallel reactions in glycerol conversion substantially challenge the effective
synthesis of target chemical from oversupplied glycerol. Herein, we intensively studied the …

Crude glycerol is the main byproduct of biodiesel manufacturing from oleaginous crops and
other biomass-derived oils. Approximately 10% crude glycerol is produced with every batch …

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a very promising biodegradable, renewable, and biocompatible
polymer. Aside from its production, its application field is also increasing, with use not only in …

The production of lactic acid from glycerol has been receiving a lot of attention due to the
efficient roles of glycerol as raw material in producing various useful chemicals. Selective …

Zirconia-supported copper oxide catalysts with various compositions were prepared and
characterized by atomic absorption spectroscopy, N 2 physical adsorption, temperature …

Electrocatalytic upgrading of glycerol to value-added commodity is demonstrated using an
ultralow loading of a cobalt-based oxidation catalyst at 16 μg cm− 2. Reactions take place …
