Waste Apple Pomace Conversion to Acrylic Acid: Economic and Potential Environmental Impact Assessments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The global demand for acrylic acid (AA) is increasing due to its wide range of applications. Due this growing demand, alternative AA production strategies must be explored avoid the exacerbation prevailing climate and warming issues since current involve fossil resources. Investigations regarding therefore constitute an important research interest. present study assesses waste apple pomace (WAP) as a feedstock sustainable production. To undertake assessment, process models based on two pathways were designed, modelled simulated in ASPEN plus® software. competing investigated included incorporating WAP conversion lactic (LA) prior LA dehydration generate (denoted fermentation–dehydration, i.e., FD, pathway) another involving propylene oxidation thermochemical–fermentation–oxidation, TFO, pathway). Economic performance potential environmental impact FD TFO assessed using metrics minimum selling price (MSP) impacts per h (PEI/h). showed that pathway presented improved economic (MSP AA: USD 1.17 kg) compared 1.56 pathway. Crucially, was determined (2.07 kPEI/h) (8.72 kPEI/h). These observations suggested selection preferred or will require tradeoff between measures via integration multicriteria decision assessment future work.
