Industrial Chemicals and Chemical Feedstocks from Wood Pulping Wastewaters

摘要

A number of industrial chemicals and chemical feedstocks can be made from wood pulping wastewaters by fermentation. The chemicals which can be made include lactic acid, and acrylic acid feedstock; neutral solvents having wide industrial use e.g. butanol, isopropanol, and ethanol; and Kreb's cycle intermediates, which are used as chelating agents and in food additives. The types of wastewaters and conditions required to produce these chemicals will be reviewed. (ERA citation 05:015058)
