DuPont announced on the 27th that the company has developed joint research with Tatelor's scientific research personnel and made use of corn as a raw material to successfully realize the large-scale production of 1,3-propanediol, which marks the foundation of renewable biological resources. , 3-Propanediol officially entered the commercial production stage.
DuPont claims that 1,3-propanediol had previously only been extracted from petroleum, a non-renewable resource. Now that corn is used as a raw material to achieve large-scale production, it is expected to get rid of excessive dependence on oil and make 1,3-propanediol successful. Sustainable production model.
According to reports, researchers from the corn extract of a polysaccharide - dextrose as raw materials, the use of biological enzyme catalyzed to prepare 1,3-propanediol. Compared with the traditional petrochemical process, this new process consumes about 40% less energy and also reduces greenhouse gas emissions by about 20%.
1,3-propanediol can be described as a "universal raw material". It is a basic raw material for many polymers and is widely used in cosmetics, liquid cleaners, antifreezes, clothing, interior decoration materials, engineering polymers and many other fields. The first batch of 1,3-propanediol made from corn will be used to produce DuPont's new garment material polymer Sorona.
DuPont said that it has jointly established a set of biomaterial processing equipment with Taterich in Loughton, Tennessee, USA. Under full load operation, the equipment can produce 100 million pounds of corn per year. Together with 45,400 tons of 1,3-propanediol, it is equivalent to saving 10 million gallons (about 45.6 million liters) of gasoline.
