Three synthetic routes to obtain acrolein are compared, from a life cycle point of view: one by propylene oxidation and two by the dehydration of glycerol, obtained as a co-product either in triglyceride transesterification to FAME or in hydrolysis to fatty acids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
