Hydrogenolysis and carbonylation of glycerol to value-added chemicals: A review article
Authors
Nyasha Makuve
Abstract
Glycerol is a potential starting material for the synthesis of value-added chemicals due to the presence of the three hydroxyl groups. The catalytic transformation of glycerol via hydrogenolysis and carbonylation has attracted attention due to the production of chemicals such as 1, 2-propanediol, 1, 3-propanediol and glycerol carbonate. The products and reaction mechanisms associated with hydrogenolysis and carbonylation of glycerol in the presence of catalysts will be presented in this review. This review will also highlight the challenges associated with glycerol valorization.
