In the present work, a reaction methodology was implemented using a batch reactor, which synthesized glycerol carbonate (GC) using glycerin and CaCO 3 . A crystallographic analysis of CaCO 3 was performed to determine its crystalline form. The obtained product was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H and 13 C). Our analysis demonstrated that the obtained product with the implemented reaction methodology has GC, FTIR showed the signals of the carbonyl groups, and the NMR spectrum confirmed the presence of cyclic carbonate structure in addition to linear carbonates. The thermogravimetric study showed that the thermal stability of the product is highly similar to that reported for GC. These results exhibit that the synthesis process produces linear and cyclic carbonates.

This study focuses on the synthesis and application of glycerol carbonate (GC) as an emulsifier for light crude oil. GC was synthesized from glycerol and dimethyl carbonate via transesterification, achieving a 90% yield. Characterization through 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and FT-IR confirmed its structure. The emulsification properties of GC were tested by mixing it with light crude oil and water, demonstrating effective emulsification and forming stable emulsions. Stability tests with GC concentrations of 60/40, 70/30, and 80/20 revealed that emulsions remained stable for over 24 h. A particle size analysis indicated that higher GC concentrations produced smaller droplet sizes, enhancing the emulsification efficiency. This study highlights the potential applications of GC in oil spill remediation and enhanced oil recovery, emphasizing its biodegradability and low toxicity as environmental benefits. Overall, GC is presented as an effective and eco-friendly emulsifier for light crude oil, offering stable emulsions and promising industrial applications.
