The transesterification of propylene carbonate (PC) or ethylene carbonate (EC) to dimethyl carbonate (DMC) by using catalytic reactive distillation (RD) is a promising approach for carbon dioxide utilization. However, there is still scarcity of comprehensive comparison between the two RD processes....
