甘油是一种高度官能化的多元醇，可用作生产各种高价值化学品的平台分子。随着甘油产量预计在未来几年内增加，开发技术和基础设施以利用不可避免的盈余至关重要。在不存在H2的情况下，由甘油催化生产“绿色”一元醇是新兴的研究领域，近年来，该领域已经产生了显著的工业兴趣。在此，我们提供了在这一领域的最新进展的更新，并讨论了需要克服的挑战，如果这种方法被认为是可行的工业。使用粗甘油作为原料甘油valorisation战略的经济意义也得到了解决，并提出了建议，以提高在这一领域进行的研究的影响。
Glycerol, a highly functionalised polyol, can be used as a platform molecule to produce a variety of high-value chemicals. As glycerol production is projected to increase over the coming years, it’s critically important that technology and infrastructure are developed to make use of the inevitable surplus. The catalytic production of ‘green’ mono alcohols from glycerol, in the absence of H2, is an emerging area of research that, in recent years, has generated significant industrial interest. Herein, we provide an update on recent advances in this field and discuss challenges which need to be overcome if this approach is to be considered viable industrially. The economic significance of using crude glycerol as a feedstock for glycerol valorisation strategies is also addressed and suggestions for improving the impact of research conducted in this field are proposed.
