Direct determination of chlorine in the glycerin by-product of biodiesel production: A green approach using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

Glycerin, by-product of biodiesel, is produced in large amounts and it contains several contaminants, including chorine (due to the neutralization stage using HCl). When using this glycerin as biomass to produce energy, the presence of alkaline chlorides may lead to the formation of corrosive fumes...
