In this study, renewable pyridines could be directly produced from glycerol and ammonia via a thermo-catalytic conversion process with zeolites. The major factors, including catalyst, temperature, weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of glycerol to catalyst, and the molar ratio of ammonia to glycerol...
