Equilibrium limitations and selectivity on conversion of glycerol to propylene glycol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propylene glycol was performed at lower temperatures and pressures using concentrated glycerol. Reactions were carried out at 180, 200, 220, and 240⁰C and at a system pressure of 1, 2, and 4 ...
Catalytic conversion of glycerol and sugar alcohols to value-added products
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The current research is based on developing an improved and fundamental understanding of technology that will allow the conversion of this crude glycerin to a propylene glycol based antifreeze product. Hydrogenolysis of ...
Use of enzymes to produce soy-based polyol for polyurethane
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Soy-based polyol used in polyurethane applications are sustainable and renewable materials which have been reported to require less energy to produce and to have lower market price. They also have less environmental impact, ...
Catalytic conversion of glycerol to propylene glycol : synthesis and technology assessment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This research is focused on developing a method that is applicable to the industrial-scale production of propylene glycol from glycerol with considerably high conversions and yields. The fundamental understanding behind ...
Polyols made from vegetable oil and their applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
In the course of research, soybean oil was polymerized to form bodied soybean oil (BSBO) also termed heat polymerized soybean oil which was used to derive the epoxy bodied soybean oil-hydroxyl value # 193, BSBO/aceto-hydroxyl ...
