There is a great concern on the utilisation of CO2 due to its increased atmospheric concentration by anthropological emissions in the last few decades. Therefore, the fixation of inexpensive and abundantly available CO2 in valuable chemicals is gaining lot of interest in recent times. Despite this, there are only a few industrial processes where CO2 is consumed directly. One such process is the...

In this work we demonstrate one-pot glycidol synthesis, via trans-esterification between glycerol and dimethyl carbonate, by making use of commercially available sodium methoxide as a catalyst. An excellent conversion (99%) remarkable yield (75%) was obtained using carbonate/glycerol (molar ratio 2:1) in the presence 3 wt% catalyst amount (with respect to weight) at 85 °C for reaction time 120 ...

Bioethanol and dimetyl carbonate (DMC) are considered alternative fuels additives to the synthesis compounds used now, since bioethanol is a biofuel dimethyl non-toxic, biodegradable can be produced in cleaner way. In this study, effect of adding ethanol gasoline on volatility was investigated. The main goal research but also, antiknock properties studied. Mixtures with DMC or were prepared dif...
