Reactive esterification and phase separation: CargillRecent Research Landscape

Low yields in bio-based acrylic acid production stem from inefficient dehydration of intermediate acids. These methods engineer specific catalytic recovery and esterification steps to stabilize chemical precursors for industrial scale-up.

What technical problems is Cargill addressing in Reactive esterification and phase separation?

Low organic acid recovery yield

(4)evidences

Inefficient separation of organic acids from complex fermentation or reaction broths leads to significant product loss. Improving recovery efficiency reduces waste and lowers downstream processing costs.
