Acetalization of glycerol and benzaldehyde to synthesize biofuel additives using SO42-/CeO2–ZrO2 catalyst

Synthesis of 1,3- dioxane and 1,3-dioxolane, using sulfated CeO2–ZrO2 catalyst for acetalization of glycerol with benzaldehyde, is the focus of present work. SO42-/CeO2–ZrO2 catalyst was synthesized using combustion method. Experiments were carried out to analyze the effect of various solvents (n-he...
