CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The rapid increase of biodiesel production in Malaysia generates an excess of crude glycerol as the primary co-product which has limited application in local industries. Based on the current situation, conversion of glycerol to higher value products is an attractive alternative. Due to its unique properties, glycerol have created a versatile range of products in various industries. Some of the areas of application include food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and textile industries. As a high value chemical with a thousand uses, glycerol can produce a large number of value-added products using various routes including catalytic. This course will highlight the importance of glycerol for the synthesis of valuable chemicals and further discuss on the conversion of glycerol to value added products (monoglyceride and polyglycerols) using catalytic routes. The current progress on this topic will also be highlighted.
- Glycerol as by-product of biodiesel.
- Catalytic conversion of glycerol to monoglycerides.
- Catalytic conversion of glycerol to polyglycerols.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Researchers and postgraduate students.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of glycerol as raw material for chemical synthesis.
- Have an in-depth knowledge on conversion of glycerol to value-added products via catalysis routes.
