Metilamina is a chemical used in the production of pesticides, explosives, medicines, and other organic chemicals. In addition, it is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of drugs such as dextroamphetamine and ephedrine, and is used in the chemical industry for dyes, adhesives, and polymer raw materials. Metylamina is formed from the ammonia and methanol amination reaction by t…
Biodiesel is an alternative energy that can replace diesel fuel. The process of making biodiesel in the triglyceride transesterification reaction produces a byproduct called glycerol, which is approximately 10% of the amount of biodiesel produced. Currently, glycerol has not been processed much so it still has a low selling value. Therefore, glycerol processing is necessary in order to convert …
