Description

This paper presents both experimental measurements and numerical modelling on the separation of glycerol from biodiesel. Glycerol is a natural by-product of biodiesel production and removal of glycerol droplets from biodiesel is required to attain fuel quality standards. Experimental observations on the separation kinetics for sedimentation and creaming of droplet dispersions as a function of time and dispersion volume fraction are presented using both optical techniques and magnetic resonanc...
