METHOD OF MANUFACTURING GLYCEROL CARBONATE

摘要

A manufacturing method of glycerol carbonate using lipase which is a biocatalizer is provided to obtain high stability and reactivity using a biocatalyzer reaction. A glycerol carbonate which is a product and reaction by-product are generated by adding glycerol which is a reactant within a reaction solvent or glycerol-containing composition and dimethyl carbonate, preparing a reaction solution and reacting the prepared reaction solution using lipase which is a biocatalizer. The reaction solvent is one or more compounds selected from a group consisting of tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile and t-butanol. The lipase is Candida Antarctica Lipase B.
