How can i refine the glycerine(by product) in the production of biodiesel and whatcan i use the glycerine for

Question

final sellable product using refined glycerine from biodiesel production?

Answer 1

It can be mixed with water and used for dust abatement on dirt roads.

Answer 2

Once again, many responders have shown a complete lack of knowledge as to how soap is made.  Listen up.  Glycerine is not used in the production of soap.  In fact, glycerine is produced during soap making.  So called glycerine based soaps are basically soaps in which the glycerine freed up from the saponification of fats is left in the mix.  Some very high glycerine content soaps add glycerine to the liquid soap before it sets.  Glycerine does have many commercial uses, but soap making is not one of them.

Answer 3

You can eat it, burn it, preserve things with it make explosives even photocopy.

Glycerine  is a colourless, odourless, viscous, nontoxic liquid with a very sweet taste and has literally thousands of uses. That is, pure glycerine has thousands of uses -- the biodiesel by-product is crude (and it's not colourless, and it's not only glycerine).

There is a market for the glycerine once you've separated it from the soaps and the lye that's also in the by-product and probably refined it too, neither of which is cheap, and then only if you can supply it by the tonne on a regular basis, unless you're lucky enough to find a small niche market.

Answer 4

If I recall correctly glycerine is also a good coolant (very high capacity to transport energy per unit mass) and antifreeze (very low freezing point).

Answer 5

After making biodiesel you get glycerine mixed with methanol.  You have to heat it up and the methanol evaporates. After that you can mix it with scents and coloring and you get soap.
