GASIFICATION BEHAVIOR OF THE RESIDUE FROM BIODIESEL REFINING PROCESS
IntroductionRemarkable research and progress about utilization of biomass has been achieved in recent year because of the continuous rise of oil prices and fuel consumption, regulation of CO2 emission, strict clean air policies, and achieving energy supply security by reducing foreign oil dependence. Concerns about conventional oil availability, security of supply and fluctuating prices have increased the interest in biofuels for transport since they are seen as a near-term alternative 1. Production of biodiesel is one of the most promising applications of biomass, a CO2 neutral source of renewable fuel and its production is expected to grow rapidly in the future. For example, biodiesel production in the United States has increased by threefolds from 25 million gallons in 2004 to 75 million gallons in 2005 2,3. In addition, over 3 billion liters of biodiesel were produced in 2005, mostly in Europe 1. However, about 10 weight percent of by product, crude glycerin compounds, is produced when the synthesis of biodiesel from vegetable oils by esterification reaction and this huge amount of residue must be effectively utilized.
