Application
- Polymer synthesis for enhanced thermal conductivity: Tartronic acid is used to exploit enzyme reactions in polymer synthesis, significantly increasing the thermal conductivity of materials, which is pivotal in manufacturing and material science applications (Nan et al., 2023).
- Advances in green chemical treatments: This acid plays a role in the electro-oxidation pathways for treating glycerol waste, contributing to sustainable chemical processes and green chemistry applications, which are essential for reducing environmental impact (Cheng et al., 2021).
- Development in biodiesel by-products treatment: Tartronic acid is also involved in kinetic studies for the electrochemical conversion of glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, highlighting its role in renewable energy and waste valorization (Pérès et al., 2020).
- Base-free oxidation reactions: It aids in the development of base-free conditions for glycerol to glyceraldehyde oxidation reactions over platinum-based catalysts, offering advancements in catalysis and organic synthesis processes (Capron et al., 2019).
