Cyclic organic carbonates are among the most widely studied targets in the nonreductive
conversion of carbon dioxide using oxiranes as the common reaction partners. Apart from …

Production of polyurethane is increasing since the recent years. Nevertheless, this
production uses hazardous chemicals, which is isocyanate. Academy has put a lot of effort to …

Heterogeneously catalyzed epoxidation of vegetable oils by hydrogen peroxide represents
a greener route for the production of epoxides and a thermally safer reaction route …

Carbide slag (CS) is a typical alkaline solid waste with Ca (OH) 2 as its main component,
exhibiting a high capacity for CO 2 mineralization. Currently, the methods for CS …

The cycloaddition of CO 2 with epoxides is regarded as one of the most efficient methods to
synthesize cyclic carbonate because of the 100% atom utilization. Therefore, it is necessary …

The concept of linear free-energy relationships, and more particularly the Taft equation, was
extended to a multiphase system with several reactions and reaction centers: the …

Production of cyclic carbonates from epoxidized vegetable oils allows to introduce CO 2 into
the molecular structure of renewable and highly functional resources, obtaining high added …

Risk of thermal runaway for epoxidation is not negligible and should be analyzed and
assessed. In industry, epoxidation of vegetable oils is carried out by the oxidation of …

Fossil depletion and global warming have pushed industrial and academic communities to
rethink the present way of consumption by diminishing waste and by using renewable raw …

Vegetable oils are more and more used in industry for the production of biodiesel,
biolubricant, or polymer. In this context, production of polyurethane by nonisocyanate routes …
