Publication number: 20140106993Abstract: Systems and methods for processing glycerol into one or more products and uses thereof are provided. In one or more embodiments, a method for treating soil can include applying a partially oxidized reaction product to a soil. The partially oxidized reaction product can be prepared by decreasing a pH of a mixture that includes glycerol and fatty acids to produce a mixture that includes a glycerol-rich portion and a fatty acids-rich portion. The glycerol-rich portion can be reacted with at least one of an oxidant and a catalyst at conditions sufficient to produce the partially oxidized reaction product.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2012Publication date: April 17, 2014Applicant: ENVIROSOURCE, INC.Inventor: Marilyn Darbonne
