Glycerol has emerged as a significant worth bio-resource that can be converted into high valued materials such as plasticizer, food additive, and fuel additive, etc. The catalytic activity of acetate salts was investigated during the etherification reaction of glycerol and the composition of products was evaluated using liquid chromatography. The influences of various reaction variables including the nature of catalyst, the loading amount of catalyst, reaction time, and reaction temperature on the etherification of glycerol were investigated.<br/>
