Purified Glycerine from Biodiesel Production as Biomass or Waste-Based Green Raw Material for the Production of Biochemicals

Glycerine (glycerol) is a polyol consisting of three carbon atoms bonded to hydroxyl groups. It by-product the transesterification triglycerides, such as animal fats, vegetable oils, or used cooking oils during biodiesel production process. Crude glycerine subject purification processes resulting in distilled containing at least 99.5% glycerol. Currently, produced high-quality food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Recently, technologies for converting glycerol other chemicals through catalytic have been intensively developed, e.g., bio-based 1,2-propanediol. In near future, will certainly become promising renewable raw material many modern biorefineries synthesis biofuels, chemicals, bioenergy production. This paper presents possibility using ion exchange resins remove impurities with trace amounts sulphur nitrogen compounds from crude glycerine, process oils. was determined that preliminary stage (before distillation) ineffective. Using cationite purify waste materials enables removal form compounds.
