Catalytic routes towards acrylic acid, adipic acid and ε-caprolactam starting from biorenewables

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Go bio! We assess the biobased productions of three important bulk chemicals: acrylic acid, adipic acid and ε-caprolactam. These are the key monomers for high-end polymers and are all produced globally in excess of two million metric tons per year.
