Abstract:

Glycerol carbonate is recognized as one of the most attractive glycerol derivatives. The conversion of biodiesel-generated glycerol into high value-added glycerol carbonate has been one of the effective ways for the comprehensive utilization of glycerol. In this review, conventional synthesis methods of glycerol carbonate, including phosgene method, CO oxidative carbonylation, transesterification, urea alcoholysis and CO ₂ conversion methods are introduced. The primary adopted catalyst as well as the corresponding reaction mechanisms are summarized. The market situation of glycerol carbonate in China and its current industrialization progresses are also analyzed. Finally, the future development is proposed from both research and industrialization perspectives. It is pointed out that we should focus on the basic catalyst theory besides developing high-performance catalysts. On the other hand, we should optimize the process flow and reduce the production cost in addition to focusing on the downstream industrial applications and the possible substitutions. We also suggest that China should promote the large-scale production of glycerol carbonate production by biodiesel by-product glycerol and its demonstration, and thus accelerate the cultivation of the biomass energy and waste resource utilization industry that could be internationally competitive.

Key words: glycerol carbonate, biodiesel, chemical processes, esterification, synthesis, catalyst
