Valorisation of glycerol into biofuel additives over heterogeneous catalysts

Transesterification of glycerol with methyl acetate was carried out over resins, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (CH) with sulfonic acid groups at 70º C. The products of glycerol transesterification are monoacetin, diacetin and triacetin. It was observed that the catalytic activity increases...
