Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing worker who removes pigments and impurities from glycerin to produce high-purity colorless and transparent products.
Description
Glycerin decolorization workers process crude glycerin obtained as a by-product from soap manufacturing or biodiesel production. They remove pigments and trace impurities through adsorption treatment using decolorizing agents (mainly activated carbon) and filtration processes, followed by centrifugal separation and distillation, etc., to manufacture high-purity colorless and transparent glycerin. The work is based on prescribed procedures, but requires operation of filtration equipment and centrifuges, monitoring of process parameters, sampling, and color comparison analysis. To ensure product quality, attention must also be paid to safety and health management, handling of chemical substances, and regular equipment maintenance.
Future Outlook
Due to increasing demand for high-purity glycerin for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, stable demand for decolorization processes is expected. As process automation and sophistication advance, specialized skills in equipment operation and quality control will become even more important.
