[EN] The gas-phase oxidehydration (ODH) of 1,2-propanediol to propionic acid has been studied as an intermediate step in the multi-step transformation of bio-sourced glycerol into methylmethacrylate. The reaction involves ...
[EN] This paper deals with an investigation of hexagonal W-Nb-O and W-V-Nb-O bronzes as catalysts for the one-pot oxidehydration of glycerol into acrylic acid. In a previous work, we reported that the best yield to acrylic ...
[EN] Glycerol surplus from biodiesel synthesis still represents a major problem in the biofuel production chain. Meanwhile, those in the acrylic acid market are looking for new processes that are able to offer viable ...
[EN] We report on a study of the key reaction parameters in glycerol oxidehydration into acrylic acid over W-V-Nb mixed oxides with a hexagonal tungsten bronze structure. This investigation demonstrated that the optimal ...
[EN] The design of suitable catalysts for the one-pot conversion of glycerol into acrylic acid (AA) is a complex matter, as only fine-tuning of the redox and acid properties makes it possible to obtain significant yields ...
