An analytical method for the analysis of free glycerin and total glycerin in biodiesel/diesel blends is presented. The total glycerin is related to the amount of nonconverted glycerides present in the biodiesel, while the ...

This study evaluated the use of crude glycerin as an alternative of energy generation to replace the traditional fuels. The Tradescantia stamen hair mutation assay (Trad-SH) was applied to study the mutagenic effects caused ...

Crude glycerine is a product obtained in a biodiesel production plant by processing the glycerine phase formed in the transesterification reactor. Crude glycerine contains approximately 80 wt% of glycerine, water, salts, ...

An increasing worldwide interest in alternative fuel sources and in a more diversified energy matrix has provided incentives for the biodiesel industry, generating large amounts of the by-product crude glycerin, a potential ...

Crude glycerin, a potential energy source for ruminant animals, has been evaluated, mainly, in diets with high starch content. However, a limit number of studies have evaluated the inclusion of crude glycerin in low starch ...

The present study deals with the determination of the activation energy for the thermal decomposition of two renewable fuels crude glycerin and beef tallow. The activation energies were investigated by using a thermogravimetric ...

Forty-eight bulls with an initial body weight (BW) of 408.4 ± 22.2 kg (age = 21 ± 2 months) were used in a randomized complete block design arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial design. The treatments were diets without virginiamycin ...
