-
This invention relates generally to the use of sugar and acetol feed stocks to produce acetol, propylene glycol, acrolein, acrylic acid, monomers and 1,3 propanediols. C4-C12 sugars react in gas phases to produce predominantly acetol and propylene glycol at temperatures between 150 and 300 degree Celsius. Acetol reacts to form acrolein in a gas phase over solid acid catalyst at lower temperatures and higher pressures than previously thought possible. The specific conversion of this invention is as described in the title. POTENTIAL AREAS OF APPLICATIONS:• Production of C3 chemicals from glycerol and/or sugarsMAIN ADVANTAGES OF INVENTION:• Renewable and non-petroleum-based feed stocks produce are currently used to produce the dimerPOSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES OF INVENTION:• NoneSTATE OF DEVELOPMENT: • Laboratory experiments have been performed that generally validate the processFURTHER R&D REQUIRED: • Further laboratory experiments. Pilot scale production.LICENSING POTENTIAL: • University seeks licensee with the potential to commercializePATENT STATUS: • Patent application is plannedINVENTOR(S): Galen SuppesCONTACT INFO: Office of Technology Management & Industrial Relations Wayne C.
