The Origins of Crude Glycerine
Biodiesel: Key Production Methods
The majority of biodiesel produced today uses a base-catalyzed reaction process. In this method, the catalyst separates the oil into biodiesel and glycerine. The glycerine obtained at this stage is crude glycerine, typically around 80% pure, and contains impurities such as soap, methanol, and water. To convert crude glycerine into technical or pharmaceutical grade glycerine, further refining and purification are required.
There are three primary methods of biodiesel production:
- Base-catalyzed transesterification of oils
- Acid-catalyzed transesterification of oils
- Conversion of oils into fatty acids, followed by biodiesel production
