Electrochemistry for biofuels waste valorization: Vinasse as a reducing agent for Pt/C and its application to the electrolysis of glycerin and vinasse
Waste vinasse has been used, for the first time, as a reducing agent to prepare a 20 wt% Pt/C electrocatalyst. After alkalization and subsequent filtration, abundant cations such as Ca, Mg and Fe were effectively removed, precipitating as hydroxides and insoluble phosphates. Pt chemical reduction wa...
