Separation of glycols with close boiling points and relatively high viscosity at their melting point is a challenge in the production purity products downstream biorefinery processes. In this work, efficiency layer melt crystallization process acetone as assisting solvent was evaluated for mixture monoethylene glycol 1,2-pentanediol. Solid-liquid equilibrium measured modelled NRTL modified UNIF...

The conversion of bio-based xylitol to ethylene glycol (EG) and propylene (PG) was studied replace the petrochemical production route achieve a sustainable process. reaction network for aqueous-phase catalytic hydrogenolysis over supported Pt catalyst with Ca(OH)2 as promotor identified kinetics determined. effects conditions such educt concentration, H2 pressure, temperature were investigated....

The incorporation of fermented chitin nanowhiskers (FCHW) into poly(lactic acid) (PLA) increased the tensile modulus and strength PLA at expense ductility. brittleness can be overcome with use plasticizer such as polyethylene glycols (PEG). objective this study is to investigate effect FCHW on thermal properties incorporated PEG (PLA/PEG). PLA/PEG reinforced nanocomposites were prepared using s...
