Abstract EN
The etherification of glycerol with propylene over acidic heterogeneous catalysts, Amberlyst-15, S100, and S200 resins, produced mono-propyl glycerol ethers (MPGEs), 1,3-di- and 1,2-di-propyl glycerol ethers (DPGEs), and tri-propyl glycerol ether (TPGE).
The propylation of glycerol over Amberlyst-15 yielded only TPGE.
The glycerol etherification with 1-butene over Amberlyst-15 and S200 resins produced 1-mono-, 2-mono-, 1,2-di-, and 1,3-di-butyl glycerol ethers (1-MBGE, 2-MBGE, 1,2-DBGE, and 1,3-DBGE).
The use of Amberlyst-15 resulted in the propylation and butylation of glycerol with higher yields than those obtained from the S100 and S200 resins.
The PGEs, TPGE, and BGEs were evaluated as cold flow improvers and octane boosters.
These alkyl glycerol ethers can reduce the cloud point of blended palm biodiesels with diesel.
They can increase the research octane number and the motor octane number of gasoline.
