Conversion of glycerol to methanol over copper and nickel supported on HZSM-5 zeolite by hydrothermal process

The use of biodiesel nowadays is in highly demand and forecasted to increase steadily in the future. Due to the surplus of glycerol as the major by-product from biodiesel processing, it gain attention to convert glycerol to methanol such a renewable and biodegradable fuel. This study discussed on co...
