Crude Glycerin -An Overview

CRUDE GLYCERIN- AN OVERVIEW
2
INTRODUCTION
Crude glycerin, also called glycerol, comes from
making biodiesel, soap, and refining fatty acids.
It is not pure and has leftovers from production.
It is used in animal feed, cosmetics, and other
things. It is not as clean as pure glycerin, but
it is still useful in many ways.
3
Uses

• Animal Feed Additive Crude glycerin is used as a
  component in animal feed, mainly for livestock
  such as pigs and poultry. It provides energy and
  helps improve feed efficiency.
• Biodiesel Production Crude glycerin is a
  byproduct of biodiesel production. It can be
  further processed to produce high-purity
  glycerin, which is used in the production of
  biodiesel and other products.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Glycerin is
  commonly used in cosmetics, moisturizers, and
  skincare products due to its humectant
  properties, which help retain moisture in the
  skin.

Specifications

• Purity Crude glycerin typically contains around
  80-90 glycerol, with composed of water,
  methanol, salts, and other impurities.
• Color The color of crude glycerin can vary from
  dark brown to almost colorless, depending on the
  source and processing methods.
• Viscosity It usually has a thick, syrupy
  consistency due to its high glycerol content.
• Impurities Common impurities include methanol,
  salts, fatty acids, and water.

5
Applications

• Energy Production Crude glycerin can be used as
  a source of renewable energy through processes
  such as anaerobic digestion or combustion.
• Chemical Industry It serves as a feedstock for
  the production of various chemicals, including
  solvents, antifreeze, and lubricants.
• Food Industry Crude glycerin can be used as a
  humectant, sweetener, and thickening agent in
  food products such as confectionery, baked goods,
  and dairy products.

Export Value
The export value of crude glycerin can vary
depends on factors such as global demand, market
conditions, and the purity of the product.
Countries with significant production have
exports of crude glycerin, with the value
influenced by fluctuations in biodiesel
production and demand for glycerin-based
products. The export value may also be affected
by the availability of alternative feedstocks and
competing products in the market. You may contact
Reliable exporters like Amoli International for
