Fractionation of glycerol acetates with supercritical CO2

Glycerol acetates are sustainable products that exhibit several industrial applications. These compounds are traditionally synthesized by the esterification of glycerol with acetic acid, and their fractionation is key to isolate high value-added products. The supercritical fractionation of glycerol acetates is an interesting alternative to separate efficiently these low volatile viscous mixtures at low temperatures to avoid thermal degradation....
