A spinout from the University of Aberdeen has developed a process for converting the waste products from whiskey distillation into valuable inputs for the chemicals industry. Ripcell uses a separation technique called liquid chromatography to isolate and extract acids from pot ale, the yellowish watery liquid left over after the first distillation phase of whiskey. Pot ale is currently used as an input for animal feed, but Ripcell’s technology harvests higher value chemicals such as lactic acid, which can be used across multiple chemical sectors such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

In this study, wheat and corn HRs were used as feedstock for the production of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) by treatment with 2–8% sodium hydroxide, 10% hydrogen peroxide and further hydrolysis with 1–2 M hydrochloric acid. The changes in the FT-IR spectra and PXRD diffractograms after chemical treatment confirmed the removal of most of the lignin, hemicellulose and amorphous fraction of cellulose. A higher degree of crystallinity was observed for MCC obtained from corn HRs, which was attributed to a more efficient removal of lignin and hemicellulose by a higher sodium hydroxide concentration, which facilitates the dissolution of amorphous cellulose during acid hydrolysis. #pharmaceutical #excipients

Heterogeneously Catalyzed Alcohol Oxidation for the Fine Chemical Industry. Organic Process Research & Development 19 (2015) 1554-1558. Self-archived at: https://lnkd.in/dKsieNf4

Tetrahydrofuran (THF), or oxolane, is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)4O. The compound is classified as heterocyclic compound. It is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity. It is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. Being polar and having a wide liquid range, THF is a versatile solvent. About 200,000 tonnes of tetrahydrofuran are produced annually. The most widely used industrial process involves the acid-catalyzed dehydration . Ashland/ISP is one of the biggest producers of this chemical route. The method is similar to the production of diethyl ether from ethanol. The butanediol is derived from condensation of acetylene with formaldehyde followed by hydrogenation.DuPont developed a process for producing THF by oxidizing n-butane to crude maleic anhydride, followed by catalytic hydrogenation. A third major industrial route entails hydroformylation of allyl alcohol followed by hydrogenation to 1,4-butanediol.
