Abstract:Resumo: A infinidade de aplicações da glicerina incentivou inúmeras pesquisas voltadas ao reaproveitamento do principal coproduto do biodiesel. Destaca-se a produção de aditivos oxigenados para combustíveis, como os éteres, os acetais e os ésteres de glicerina, processos estes que demandam um tempo de reação muito prolongado. Considerando que a aplicação da irradiação de microondas pode influenciar na cinética das reações químicas, o presente trabalho investigou a reação de benzilação do glicerol via catálise … Show more
“…The formation of benzyl glycerol ether 13 was investigated by Silva et al via homogeneous acid catalysis ( p -toluene-sulfonic acid) under MW irradiation. 89 In this study, it was found that the MW power variation (5–10 W) promoted a good glycerol 3 conversion value (∼75%) and high production of glycerol mono-ether 13 (∼60%) in approximately 80 minutes, at a shorter time than the 120 minutes required for conversion using conventional heating. On the other hand, it also influenced an undesirable reaction, the self-etherification of benzyl alcohol; therefore, a study to optimize the glycerol ether production process is necessary.…”

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.
