Viable Glycerol Carbonate Synthesis Through Direct Crude Glycerol Utilization from Biodiesel Industry

Synthesis of organic carbonates specifically glycerol carbonate has become a major concern among researchers due to its interesting chemical properties. In this study, we report the direct utilization of two different sources of crude glycerol in glycerolysis reaction with urea for the synthesis of...
