Optimization on the etherification of glycerol with tert-butyl alcohol

Green acid catalyst obtained from industrial wastes for glycerol etherification

“…Frusteri and coworkers studied the glycerol etherification reaction in the presence of Amberlyst-15 as a catalyst obtaining 82% of glycerol conversion [40]. Chang and Chen, also using Amberlyst-15 as a catalyst, achieved a glycerol conversion of 72.3% after 8 h reaction time [41].…”

Two-stage parameter estimation applied to ordinary differential equation models

“…There is thus an increase in interest in using glycerol etherification with e.g. isobutylene or tert-butyl alcohol on solid catalysts [35,[39][40][41][42][43][44] to produce oxygenates.…”

Alternative fuel additives from glycerol by etherification with isobutene: Structure–performance relationships in solid catalysts

“…Isobutene (IB) , butanol [25,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]70], glycerol [66][67][68][69], and refinery fractions [40,71] were used for the etherification reaction as alkylation agents. Among these routes, the etherification of glycerol with IB and butanol is important as the reaction products can be directly blended with fuels.…”
