Abstract
Polyols were produced via a sequential two-step liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass using biodiesel-derived crude glycerol as a liquefaction solvent. This two-step process combines the virtues of both acid- and base-catalyzed biomass liquefaction processes. The produced polyols are suitable to prepare high-quality rigid or semi-rigid polyurethane foams that are commonly used as insulation materials.
