Combustion of Glycerol

2C₃H₈O₃ + 7O₂ → 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

Genel Bakış

Glycerol (glycerin) burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. As a byproduct of biodiesel production, excess glycerol is sometimes burned for energy recovery. Glycerol can also be used as a feedstock for bio-based chemicals.

Günlük Örnek

Glycerol is the sweet-tasting compound in moisturizers, soap, and food products. It is produced as a byproduct when making soap from fats.

Endüstriyel Önemi

Biodiesel production generates about 10% glycerol by weight, creating a glycerol surplus. Finding uses for this glycerol is an active area of green chemistry research.
