Abstract

The production of biofuel has increased considerably over the last years. Glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel synthesis, accounts for 10wt% of the total product and has a limited range of applications. Etherification reaction of glycerol with light olefins (isobutene, isoamylenes) in liquid phase and catalyzed by acidic macroporous ion-exchange resins could be an attractive solution (i) to address the excess of glycerol, and (ii) to increase the diesel volume using light olefins, obtaining a product of good properties, higher value and especially useful as an additive in diesel and also in biodiesel.
