- Acrylic acid is derived presently from
petroleum and is an important monomer in the industrial manufacture
of plastics and other polymers. An alternate source of acrylic acid
is in the bacterial fermentation of glycerol to
3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA) and the subsequent oxidation of
3-HPA to acrylic acid.
- One route of transformation of
glycerol is its conversion to acrolein by the dehydration of this
by-product. Acrolein is used as raw material for the
production of acrylic acid, medicines, detergents, acrylic acid
esters and fiber treatments among others.
- Glycerol is a raw material derived
from biomass; it has high oxygen content and being thermally
unstable and can be transformed in oxygenated chemicals by
deoxygenating processes.
- The dehydration of glycerol into
acrolein was quite sensitive to pressure in supercritical condition
because of the variation of proton concentration
with respect to the pressure in supercritical water.
- The growth of today’s biodiesel
industry has resulted in the development of a parallel glut of
glycerol. While glycerol is potentially a structurally well-defined
three carbon chemical intermediate, its traditional high cost has
resulted in a lack of technology for conversion into other chemical
compounds.
