| Summary: | Biodiesel is a renewable fuel that can be produced from waste cooking oil mainly through transesterification . However, from its production results a contaminant called glycerol, which must be removed. Wet washing is the most common method for biodiesel purification, but it has several drawbacks,including high costs and the generation of large amounts of aqueous effluent. This study proposes using activated carbon obtained from industrial cork waste in adsorption as an alternative method for glycerol removal. This approach could potentially reduce the environmental impact and cost ofproducing biodiesel, while also providing an alternative for the valorization of industrial cork waste. |
