Glycerol acetylation over yttrium oxide (Y2O3) catalyst supported on palm kernel shell-derived carbon and parameters optimization studies using response surface methodology (RSM)

A biomass derived carbon supported yttrium oxide catalyst (Y2O3/PKS-T700) was synthesized and evaluated in glycerol acetylation reaction using four-factor, two-level face-centred central composite design (24 CCD) of the response surface methodology (RSM). The catalyst exhibited high glycerol convers...
