A low-cost method for obtaining high-value bio-based propylene glycol from sugar beet pulp

A new low-cost pathway for the production of high-value propylene glycol (PG) is proposed. This route of waste biomass utilization employs catalytic reduction of lactic acid obtained from fermented enzymatic digests of sugar beet pulp. A new low-cost pathway for the production of high-value propylen...

Zusammenfassung:A new low-cost pathway for the production of high-value propylene glycol (PG) is proposed. This route of waste biomass utilization employs catalytic reduction of lactic acid obtained from fermented enzymatic digests of sugar beet pulp. A new low-cost pathway for the production of high-value propylene glycol (PG) is proposed.
