Synthesis of 2-Methylpyrazine Using Crude Glycerol over Zn-Cr-O Catalyst: A Value Addition Process for the Utilization of Biodiesel By-Product

Mixed oxides of ZnO and Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> with varied mole ratios were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for the dehydrocyclization of crude glycerol for the production of 2-methylpyrazine (2-MP). The Zn-Cr-O composition was optimized using the bulk and surf...
