The first bankruptcy introduces the idea that of biofuel and in brief describes the construction of biodiesel. It additionally highlights glycerol because the major byproduct of biodiesel synthesis and offers a few numbers concerning the global creation of glycerol. the second one bankruptcy indicates the typical makes use of of glycerol and addresses the purpose whether they can drain the big quantities of glycerol made out of biodiesel. The bankruptcy addresses execs and cons of every use. The 3rd bankruptcy covers the most biotechnological procedures of glycerol transformation. The fourth bankruptcy completely describes the most thermochemical approaches to remodel glycerol into commodities, items that might be extra utilized in the chemical to supply polymers, for example. The 5th bankruptcy covers the creation of glycerol derivatives of excessive added-value. The 6th bankruptcy addresses using glycerol within the context of a biorefinery. the most proposal is to teach that a few of the techniques defined within the past chapters might be solely eco-friendly, utilizing solely renewable uncooked materials.
