	  abstract     = {Batch fermentation of 5, 10 and 25 g/L biodiesel
derived crude glycerol was carried out at 30, 37 and 450C by
Clostridium pasteurianum cells immobilized on silica. Maximum
yield of 1,3-propanediol (PDO) (0.60 mol/mol), and ethanol (0.26
mol/mol) were obtained from 10 g/L crude glycerol at 30 and 370C
respectively. Maximum yield of butanol (0.28 mol/mol substrate
added) was obtained at 370C with 25 g/L substrate. None of the three
products were detected at 45oC even after 10 days of fermentation.
Only traces of ethanol (0.01 mol/mol) were detected at 450C with 5
g/L substrate. The results obtained for 25 g/L substrate utilization
were fitted in first order rate equation to obtain the values of rate
constant at three different temperatures for bioconversion of glycerol.
First order rate constants for bioconversion of glycerol at 30, 37 and
45oC were found to be 0.198, 0.294 and 0.029/day respectively.
Activation energy (Ea) for crude glycerol bioconversion was
calculated to be 57.62 kcal/mol.},
