Challenges & Opportunities on Catalytic Conversion of Glycerol to Value Added Chemicals

Abstract: With the rapid expansion of biodiesel industry, its main by-product, crude glycerol, is anticipated to reach a global production of 6 million tons in 2025. It is actually a worrying phenomenon as glycerol could potentially emerge as an excessive product with little value. Glycerol, an alcohol and oxygenated chemical from biodiesel production, has essentially enormous potential to be converted into higher value-added chemicals. Using glycerol as a starting material for value-added chemical production will creat… Show more

“…GLY can be converted into a host of industrial chemicals using a suitable combination of catalysts and reagents. 92 However, this review discusses the production of only primary petrochemicals from GLY, which then can be converted into the same industrial chemicals following established synthetic routes. GLY is a lucrative feedstock for propylene because the C3 feedstock does not require any C−C bond-making or bond-cleaving steps.…”

“…to make glycerol with high added value and obtain downstream chemicals, such as binary alcohol, acrolein and acetol, dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehydes, glyceric acid and hydroxypyruvic acid, glycerides, glycerol tert-butyl ether and polyglycerols, glycerol carbonate, etc. [12][13][14]. Among them, the production of 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) and 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) using glycerol hydrogenolysis is one of the most representative and highest-potential processes for the comprehensive utilization of biomass-based glycerol [15][16][17].…”
