Features completely unique information and insight from leading expert Mario Pagliaro, including recent developments in the field, gathered from over a decade of intense R&D activitiesIncludes new chapters on the glycerol market, glycerol polymers, the use of glycerol in the cement and construction industries, its use an antifreeze, and its sustainable productionContains reliable, accessible information appropriate for research chemists and chemical engineers in the chemical, oleochemicals, biodiesel, biotechnology and cement industries as well as in academia
A chemistry and energy scholar based at Italy's Research Council, Mario Pagliaro has co-authored more than 160 highly cited research articles and 20 books. Amongst his discoveries are a number of new utilizations of biodiesel-derived glycerol that range from its use as cement additive in the construction industry, through entirely new oxidation and dehydration processes. His 2007 article 'From glycerol to value-added products” has been cited more than 1,000 times. His previous work, The Future of Glycerol (first published in 2008 and revised in 2010) is the international reference in the field with more than 400 citations. Dr. Pagliaro's other popular publications cover solar energy (Flexible Solar Cells), nanotechnology (Nano-Age), materials chemistry (Silica-Based Materials), photochemistry (Clean by Light Irradiation), and chemistry (The Future of Glycerol).
