Crude glycerol that is produced as the by-product from biodiesel, has to be effectively utilized to contribute to the viability of biodiesel. Crude glycerol in large amounts can pose a threat to the environment. Therefore, there is a need to convert this crude glycerol into valued added products using biotechnological processes, which brings new revenue to biodiesel producers. Crude glycerol can serve as a feedstock for biopolymers, poly unsaturated fatty acids, ethanol, hydrogen and -butanol production and as a raw material for different value added industrial products. Hence, in this review we have presented different bioconversion technologies of glycerol to value added industrial products.
作为生物柴油副产品产生的粗甘油，必须得到有效利用，以促进生物柴油的可行性。大量的粗甘油会对环境构成威胁。因此，有必要利用生物技术将这种粗甘油转化为高附加值产品，这为生物柴油生产商带来新的收入。粗甘油可作为生物聚合物、多不饱和脂肪酸、乙醇、氢气和丁醇生产的原料，以及不同高附加值工业产品的原材料。因此，在本综述中，我们介绍了甘油转化为高附加值工业产品的不同生物转化技术。
