PRODUCTION OF LACTIC ACID FROM GLYCEROL BY APPLYING AN ALKALINE HYDROTHERMAL PROCESS USING HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSTS AND HIGH GLYCEROL CONCENTRATION
AbstractThe production of lactic acid from glycerol by means of the alkaline hydrothermal process was evaluated using high concentrations of glycerol. The operating conditions that influence the hydrothermal process were studied. Temperature (250 - 280 ºC), catalyst to glycerol molar ratio (0.05 to...
