Value-added uses for crude glycerol--a byproduct of biodiesel production
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Biodiesel is a promising alternative, and renewable, fuel. As its production increases, so does production of the principle co-product, crude glycerol. The effective utilization of crude glycerol will contribute to the viability of biodiesel. In this review, comp...
