Production of eco-friendly soap from glycerine pitch and blend oil

Glycerine or glycerol is an alcohol with three hydroxyl (-OH) groups. It is a colourless, odourless, viscous and water-soluble liquid. Being a by-product from the production of biodiesel, glycerine is presently abundantly available. This situation is alarming since the surplus of glycerine could not...
