  • Patent number: 10131620
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a recycling method for producing dimethyl carbonate and dimethyl carbonate derivatives. The process is unique in that it produces a by-product that can be re-used in the process as a raw material for repeating the process. For example, when the process is directed to synthesizing dimethyl carbonate, glycerol is used as a starting material. Glycerol is also a by-product produced during formation of dimethyl carbonate, and therefore it can be re-used as starting material to generate more dimethyl carbonate.
