Anaerobic fermentation of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) is conceived as an economic feasible pathway to handle with increasing crude glycerol from biodiesel industry. However, glycerol anaerobic digestion effluent (ADE) consists of carboxylic acids and 1,3-PDO, imposing difficulties for sepa...
