“…O teor de glicerol foi de, aproximadamente, 82%. Um grau de pureza de, no mínimo, 80% classifica a amostra como glicerina loira (Lopes et al, 2014;Monteiro et al, 2018;Velloso et al, 2021;Foo et al, 2022), colocando-a como uma glicerina que pode ser empregado como aditivos e plastificantes, ou ainda podendo ser usado como matéria-prima na produção do carbonato de glicerol, um solvente muito versátil, que pode também servir como precursor para a produção de policarbonatos biodegradáveis (Monteiro et al, 2018;Jariah et al, 2021;Mardianti et al, 2021;Maquirriain et al, 2022;). A Tabela 1 apresenta os valores encontrados para os parâmetros de teor de alcalinidade e mostra o baixo nível de cloretos para a amostra purificada, estando muito abaixo dos 7% (m/m) tolerados segundo a BIO 1001.…”

A Biorrefinaria Experimental de Resíduos Sólidos Orgânicos (BERSO) do Departamento de Energia Nuclear da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE) produz biodiesel a partir de rejeitos de óleos e gorduras de cozinha produzidos na própria Universidade. Esse tipo de produção do biodiesel aparece como uma alternativa para a produção do biocombustível a partir de utilização de rejeitos. Entretanto, essa produção de biodiesel gera um subproduto, a glicerina bruta, em quantidade aproximada de 10% por litro do biocombustível obtido. Essa alta produção de resíduos traz problemas ambientais se a glicerina bruta for descartada no ambiente sem os devidos cuidados. Entretanto, o aproveitamento desse resíduo exige intensa purificação prévia, que acaba onerando o processo. Neste trabalho, é apresentado um processo simplificado de purificação da glicerina bruta que permitiu aumentar o teor de glicerol inicial, melhorando a viabilidade do processo de purificação. Desta maneira, o reaproveitamento tem o intuito de corroborar com a consolidação do processo sustentável para obtenção do biocombustível pela BERSO fazendo uso do subproduto obtido, o glicerol, que através de um processo de purificação e refinamento da fase bruta gera-se matéria-prima com teor de pureza acima de 80%.Palavras-chave: Biodiesel.

Simple Purification Process of Waste Glycerol from Berso-Ufpe Biorefinary Biodiesel Production: A Sustainable Practice A B S T R A C TExperimental Biorefinery of Solid Organic Waste (BERSO) of Nuclear Energy Department of Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) produces biodiesel from waste of oils and fats produced at University. This type of biodiesel production appears as an alternative for the production of biofuel from the use of waste. However, this biodiesel production generates a by-product, crude glycerin, in an approximate amount of 10% per liter of the biofuel obtained. This high production of waste brings environmental problems if crude glycerin is discarded into the environment without due care. However, the use of this residue requires intense prior purification, which ends up burdening the process. In this work,a simplified process of purification of crude glycerin is presented, which allowed to increase the initial glycerol content, improving the viability of the purification process. In this way, the reuse is intended to corroborate the consolidation of the sustainable process for obtaining biofuel by BERSO making use of the by-product obtained, glycerol, which through a process of purification and refinement of the crude phase generates raw material with purity content above 80%.Keywords: Biodiesel.

“…The results obtained from the simulation are considered valid if compared to other studies. According to a study by Foo et al (2022), the total capital investment and annual productions of this plant are 17,446,517 USD and 468,865,794 USD per tonnes, respectively, under the economic analysis conducted for waste palm oil. According to Saydut et al (2010), waste cooking oil used as raw material is the primary option to consider when lowering the cost of glycerol.…”

Increasing demand in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly from China, India, and Southeast Asia, as well as new uses for the product such as a humectant in cosmetics and other personal care products, and advances in related technologies, have contributed to a thriving worldwide glycerol industry. Regarding this, glycerol manufacturing performance using SuperPro Designer® Simulator was studied. Enzymatic hydrolysis method was selected for glycerol manufacturing where waste cooking palm oil (PWCO) and waste cooking sunflower oil (SWCO) were used as feedstock. In this study, block flow diagram (BFD) and process flow diagram (PFD) for glycerol manufacturing were synthesized and economic potential of the production was evaluated. The operating conditions for the enzymatic hydrolysis process were carried out at pH of 5.5, temperature of 35.3 and 40℃, agitation speed of 300 rpm, input flow rate of 1000 kg/batch and reaction time of 2 hours. According to the simulation results, the glycerol yield from PWCO was higher than SWCO which were 95.71 kg/batch or 110,116.48 kg/year and 1.89 kg/batch or 2,179.27 kg/year, respectively. However, when the reactor temperature was changed from 35.3°C to 40°C, there were no changes in glycerol yield from either feedstock. For economical evaluation it was found that the capital investment for the glycerol production when using PWCO was lower compared to SWCO which were 8,962,000 USD and 37,900,000 USD, respectively. In addition, for glycerol production of 100 metric tonnes per year, using PWCO as the feedstock results in a lower operating cost of 1,212,000 USD per year when compared to SWCO, which has an operating cost of 17,525,000 USD.
