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

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 …

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 …

Supported molybdenum oxide (MoO x) and tungsten oxide (WO x) materials are a vital class
of solid acid catalysts for the chemical industry because of their nontoxic nature, strong …

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 …

Solids that possess acidic properties on their surfaces function as catalysts just like liquid
acids, such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. By using solid acid catalysts, chemical …

Abstract To improve 1, 3-propanediol selectivity, a series of SiO 2 modified Pt/WO x/ZrO 2
catalysts with various SiO 2 content for glycerol hydrogenolysis were prepared via …

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 gas-phase dehydration of glycerol was investigated over H 3 PW 12 O 40/MCM-41, H 3
PW 12 O 40/Zr-MCM-41 and Pd-H 3 PW 12 O 40/Zr-MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves …

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 …
