Synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and dialkyl carbonates using hydrotalcite as a reusable heterogeneous base catalyst

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

An uncalcined Mg–Al hydrotalcite catalyst involving hydromagnesite with a high surface area acted as a highly active base catalyst for glycerol carbonate synthesis from glycerol and dialkyl carbonates under moderate reaction conditions.
