- Abstract
In virtue of the National Program for Biodiesel Production and Use (NPBPU), the commercial scale production in Brazilian semi-arid areas of crops used for biodiesel production has increased and one consequence is the generation of waste that need to target economic and ecologically viable. The main byproducts of biodiesel production chain are the cake and / or meal and glycerin. The present work aims at studying the possibilities to use these surpluses for biodiesel production in value-added products. The conclusions of this work demonstrate that the potential exists for use of castor bean meal in animal feed, such as fertilizer that has the ability to recover degraded areas and to control soil nematodes. Furthermore, it was found that glycerin can be used as fuel with high heat.
