Influence of Heterogeneous Catalysts and Reaction Parameters on the Acetylation of Glycerol to Acetin: A Review

Glycerol, a polyhydric alcohol, is currently receiving greater attention worldwide in view of its glut in the market occasioned by the recent upsurge in biodiesel production. The acetylation of glycerol to acetin (acetyl glycerol) is one of the many pathways of upgrading glycerol to fine chemicals....
