Synthesis of Solketal Fuel Additive From Acetone and Glycerol Using CO2 as Switchable Catalyst

The production of solketal fuel additive was studied from the reaction of glycerol and acetone in the presence of pressurized CO2 as switchable catalyst. A design of experiments (DoE) was used to study the significance of temperature, initial pressure of CO2, glycerol/acetone molar ratio, and reacti...
