Seeking a Catalyst
Notes organic chemist Paul Bloom, Ph.D., business director of industrial chemicals at ADM, “The concept itself of creating propylene glycol from renewable sources is not that new. Scientists at the University of Wisconsin demonstrated its feasibility as early as the 1930s, but they couldn’t produce it in a way that was economical for commercial production.” ADM’s Evolution Chemicals Division has been looking for ways to produce biobased PG for at least 20 years, he adds, but the catalysts — the agents for producing it economically and up to quality standards — had never been identified.
