Abstract
10% by weight of crude glycerol is produced during biofuel fermentation process, which has impacted the price of biofuel due to impurity content. In addition, the government’s regulations have prohibited the usage of crude glycerol as fuel source due to the emission of hazardous gases. This study provides the insight study of the properties and source of crude glycerol that can be converted into glycerol carbonate by glycerolysis process, where the particular glycerol carbonate is used as catalyst for synthesizing of polyurethane polymer that has a number of applications in real life. Glycerolysis process of glycerol carbonate using Pro-II 9.3 simulator is proposed and is feasible for implementation that would effectively utilize crude glycerol that is abundant in biodiesel market.
