The Future of Glycerol:
New usages for a versatile raw material (Workshop)

Mario Pagliaro, co-author of The Future of Glycerol, presents the numerous uses of glycerol as a new raw material directly in the nice city of Palermo.

This one-day course combines lecture and discussion.

The optimal class size is between 5 and 10, but this tutorial can be structured to accommodate any number of participants.

The course in intended for industry's top, marketing and R&D managers as well as management consultants.

Attendees are not limited to chemistry specialists; rather general, marketing and product managers can benefit as well.

Program

A versatile platform chemical and energy vector, bioglycerol from biodiesel manufacturing is increasingly finding new commercial applications. The topics of this full-day workshop include the main achievements for converting glycerol into high-value products and energy developed in the last 24 months.
  1. Crude Glycerol as Solvent
  2. New Fuel Bioadditives
  3. Glycerol as Fuel in Fuel Cells
  4. Methanol from bioglycerol
  5. Bioglycerol as Anticorrosive Lubricant and Soap
  6. Additive for Concrete
  7. GTBE, New Fuel Oxygenate
  8. Propylene Glycols
  9. Epichlorohydrin

Ever more processes are being discovered that use glycerol byproduct of biodiesel production as a raw material for the production of value-added chemicals and energy. The scope and pace of innovation in the last two years has been and continues to be impressive.
