Abstract: A process for chlorine dioxide production uses waste glycerol from biodiesel plants as a reducing agent. This un-treated waste stream may contain other reducing agents such as sodium chloride and methanol which were found to enhance the chlorine dioxide production. Other chemicals present in this waste stream did not affect the operation of the chlorine dioxide gen-erator.  Substituting the waste glycerol for methanol or other reducing agents helps kraft pulp mills in reducing the cost of produc-ing chlorine dioxide while providing a use for the untreated waste glycerol stream.
