Recent Advances on the Valorization of Glycerol into Alcohols

Glycerol, a highly functionalised polyol, can be used as platform molecule to produce variety of high-value chemicals. As glycerol production is projected increase over the coming years, it’s critically important that technology and infrastructure are developed make use inevitable surplus. The catalytic ‘green’ mono alcohols from glycerol, in absence H2, an emerging area research that, recent has generated significant industrial interest. Herein, we provide update on advances this field discuss challenges which need overcome if approach considered viable industrially. economic significance using crude feedstock for valorisation strategies also addressed suggestions improving impact conducted proposed.
