Keywords: glycerol glycolic lactic acid electrochem conversion carbon electrode; electro-oxidation; electro-reduction; glycerol; glycolic acid; lactic acid.They researched the compound: 4-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one( cas:931-40-8 ).Recommanded Product: 931-40-8. Aromatic heterocyclic compounds can be divided into two categories: single heterocyclic and fused heterocyclic. In addition, there is a lot of other information about this compound (cas:931-40-8) here.
In recent years, the rapid swift increase in world biodiesel production has caused an oversupply of its byproduct, glycerol. Therefore, extensive research is done worldwide to convert glycerol into numerous high added-value chems. i.e., glyceric acid, 1,2-propanediol, acrolein, glycerol carbonate, dihydroxyacetone, etc. Hydroxyl acids, glycolic acid and lactic acid, which comprise of carboxyl and alc. functional groups, are the focus of this study. They are chems. that are commonly found in the cosmetic industry as an antioxidant or exfoliator and a chem. source of emulsifier in the food industry, resp. The aim of this study is to selectively convert glycerol into these acids in a single compartment electrochem. cell. For the first time, electrochem. conversion was performed on the mixed carbon-black activated carbon composite (CBAC) with Amberlyst-15 as acid catalyst. To the best of our knowledge, conversion of glycerol to glycolic and lactic acids via electrochem. studies using this electrode has not been reported yet. Two operating parameters i.e., catalyst dosage (6.4-12.8% w/v) and reaction temperature [room temperature (300 K) to 353 K] were tested. At 353 K, the selectivity of glycolic acid can reach up to 72% (with a yield of 66%), using 9.6% w/v catalyst. Under the same temperature, lactic acid achieved its highest selectivity (20.7%) and yield (18.6%) at low catalyst dosage, 6.4% w/v.
