Rapid purification of glycerol by-product from biodiesel production through combined process of microwave assisted acidification and adsorption via chitosan immobilized with yeast

Biodiesel is a proven alternative to the petroleum diesel fuel. During biodiesel production, glycerol is produced as a by-product. This by-product consist of impureties such as soap, salts, sodium catalyst and so on. Traditionally, two of the most conventional techniques that is applied to glycerol...
