Valorization of crude glycerol from biodiesel production
2016
The increased production of biodiesel as an alternative fuel involves the
simultaneous growth in production of crude glycerol as its main by-product.
Therefore, the feasibility and sustainability of biodiesel production
requires the effective utilization of crude glycerol. This review describes
various uses of crude glycerol as a potential green solvent for chemical
reactions, a starting raw material for chemical and biochemical conversions
into value-added chemicals, a substrate or co-substrate in microbial
fermentations for synthesis of valuable chemicals and production of biogas
and biohydrogen as well as a feedstuff for animal feed. A special attention
is paid to various uses of crude glycerol in biodiesel production. [Projekat
