Biodiesel glycerol, products synthesized

Fatty acids and glycerol are products in hydrolysis reaction of triglycerides. Glycerol is a trifunctional polyol obtained as a by-product of soap production (nowadays it is also known as a by-product of biodiesel production). It has been used in the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the cosmetics industry, and especially used as a monomer for alkyd resin and polyurethane in the polymer industry. More recently, hyperbranched polymers are synthesized on the basis of trifunctional reactivity of glycerol. ... [Pg.29]

The monomers used in the polycondensation reaction for the production of poly(alkylene dicarboxylate)s are basically from petrochemical sources. However, some of them can be obtained from renewable sources. For example, 1,3-propanediol can be produced by fermentation of glycerol, which is a by-product from biodiesel or plant oil production. Succinic acid can be synthesized from glucose or whey by bacterial fermentation in very high yields. ... [Pg.174]
