Butanediol

Home brewing enthusiasts and major manufacturers alike experience the same result of the beer-making process: mounds of leftover grain. Once all the flavor has been extracted from barley and other grains, what's left is a protein- and fiber-rich powder that is typically used in cattle feed or put in more

With immediate effect, or as existing contracts permit, BASF SE will increase its European selling prices for the following products: 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) + 50 EUR/mt Tetrahydrofuran (THF)    + 75 EUR/mt Polytetramethylene ether glycol (PolyTHF®) + 100 EUR/mt N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP)    more

BASF will increase its production capacities for the chemical intermediate 1,4-butanediol (BDO) by 10% at its site in Geismar/Louisiana as of 2016. The company will then have a global capacity of BDO of 670,000 metric tons per year. Additionally, BASF looks into further measures to strengthen and to more

Herein, a novel route for the production of renewable hydrocarbon jet fuels from the biomass-derived platform chemicals furfural and 2,3-butanediol (BD) was developed. Carbonaceous solid acids bearing –SO3H groups were prepared from biomass or its isolated polymeric components to catalyze the dehydr more

A physical mixture of ReOx–Au/CeO2 and carbon-supported rhenium catalysts effectively converted 1,4-anhydroerythritol to 1,4-butanediol with H2 as a reductant. The combination of these two catalysts in a one-pot reaction dramatically increased the selectivity of 1,4-butanediol as well as the convers more
