Abstract
The article focuses on the study which examines the importance of glycerin which is used as a renewable feedstock for ephichlorohydrin production. It mentions that the glycerin to epichlorohydrin (GTE) process proceeds in two chemical steps. The study reveals that the GTE process is an economically advantaged route to epichlorohydrin that features several environmentally desirable attributes compared to the incumbent process. Moreover, the GTE process exhibits improved atom efficiency, less waste water and lower levels of chlorinated organic by-products.
