Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention describes a process for conditioning and transforming crude glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, into a mixture of glycerol esters (mono-, di- and triesters of glycerol) by means of the esterification reaction. This mixture of esters is a high value-added product that has several commercial applications of interest, particularly its use as a fuel additive, and more specifically to increase the octane number in gasoline. La presente invención describe un proceso para el acondicionamiento y transformación del glicerol crudo, subproducto de la producción del biodiesel, en una mezcla de ésteres de glicerol (mono-, di- y triésteres de glicerol) mediante la reacción de esterificación. Esta mezcla de ésteres es un producto de alto valor agregado que tiene varias aplicaciones comerciales de interés, particularmente su empleo como aditivo de combustibles, y más específicamente para incrementar el índice de octano en gasolina.
