Glycerol Role in Nano Oxides Synthesis and Catalysis

Abstract: The transformation of biomass and the utilization of all the by products derived from chemical conversion of biomass resources is one of the most important challenges nowadays. The impact in society and the level of awareness that already exists inside and outside the scientific community, makes the challenge of improving conversion of biomass to commodities a hot topic. Glycerol, a by-product obtained from the biodiesel production, is a key player compound due to its chemical versatility. The possibility of b… Show more

“…Glycerol–water solution has a polarity lower than water and, in addition, is a trihydric alcohol able to form an extended hydrogen-bonded network. Accordingly, the observed behavior of FLOW2 in a ZnO-PDMS device can be attributed to the interaction of glycerol with the ZnO rods present in the microchannel and related network of H-bond formation between the surface atomic moieties of the deposited oxide [ 43 ].…”

“…Due to its nontoxicity, low cost, and renewable nature, glycerol—which was used to produce black TiO 2 —is regarded as environmentally friendly. 26 Glycerol is a by-product of biodiesel production, and its amount is expected to increase as various countries such as South America and Asian countries have a keen interest in biodiesel production. Therefore, incorporating excess glycerol in material synthesis provides the dual benefits of producing valuable materials while simultaneously eliminating the requirement to dispose of glycerol.…”

“…Glycerol, an important by-product of biodiesel production, is formed in significant amounts by transesterification of triglycerides with methanol and can be used as feedstock to produce high value-added products [ 3 ]. An effective utilization of glycerol by its efficient conversion into value-added bio-based commodities ( Scheme 1 ) would have a very positive effect on biodiesel production economics, with its demand forecast to increase in the following years [ 4 , 5 ]. It also offers a great alternative to reduce fossil feedstocks’ dependence, decrease the CO 2 emissions in this sector, and boost cleaner, more efficient, modern, and better-oriented industries that are able to satisfy the increasing demand for eco-friendly, safer, and healthier products.…”
