Development of Rate Expression for Glycerol Hydrogenation Reaction

Abstract

This paper highlights various routes for glycerol reaction and also pathway for heterogeneous catalyst and also being obtained as by product of biodiesel making it cost effective and easy availability. Whereby it also aims at development of rate model and compares values of calculated and experimentally obtained rate constant. It also aims at hydrogenation carried out at liquid phase and gas phase and also various types of catalyst, support and promoter that can be used in hydrogenation of glycerol, and also advantage of various by-products and intermediate formed by glycerol hydrogenation reaction. It also aims at various intermediate formed by acid/solid base catalyst.
