A new route for the synthesis of propylene oxide from bio-glycerol derivated propylene glycol

Abstract

The synthesis of propylene oxide from propylene glycol, a derivative of bio-glycerol, was firstly realized in the presence of alkali-loaded silica catalysts to achieve 44% conversion and 70% selectivity.
