The BookAs surprised as you may be, the batteries of your laptop and iPod, as well as your car's antifreeze will soon be based on glycerol, the same sweet viscous substance present in those nice soaps. A large surplus of glycerol byproduct of biodiesel production has entered the chemical market causing closure of existing glycerol plants and the discovery of processes that use glycerol as a raw material for the production of value-added chemicals and -- yes -- of energy. This nicely illustrated book written in a clear, concise style presents the numerous uses of glycerol as a new raw material. Its users include industry's consultants and managers as well as research chemists, engineers and students. Elucidation of the principles governing the new chemistry of glycerol goes along with updated industrial information that is generally difficult to retrieve. Dealing with an hot topic of urgent scientific and commercial interest, this will be a true "living book" in which updates will be posted yearly on the RSC website. Have Us Talk at Your Company (or come to Palermo)Mario Pagliaro offers a strategic seminar related to the book's topics aimed to industry's top, marketing and R&D managers.
