Outline
A novel enzymatic process for
biodiesel production
Integrated production of 1,3-PDO from
by-product glycerol
Biodiesel : defined as “a substitute for, or an additive to
diesel fuel that is derived from oils and fats of plants, animals
and microbes”
CH2-OOC-R1 R1-COOR' CH2-OH
Catalyst
CH-OH
CH-OOC-R2 + 3R’OH R2-COOR'

R3-COOR' CH2OH
CH2-OOC-R3
Glyceride Biodiesel Glycerol
Catalyst
R-COOH + R’OH R-COOR’ + H 2O
High temperature
and pressure
Supercritical It is energy and capital intensive with reaction carried
fluid systems out at high temperature and high pressure conditions.
lipase
oil + methanol Biodiesel + glycerol
Poor stability and activity of the lipase should be due to the negative effect of
methanol and glycerol. With TU’s novel technology, the negative effect of both
methanol and glycerol on enzyme activity could be greatly eliminated

主题: PTT meeting
I'm afraid that it is a little bit late, but I wish you happy new year!
Now that NPC and TFJ(Teijin Fiber Japan) acknowledged and confirmed that your monomer
can be used as raw material of PTT polymer which is equal to Dupont's.
On the other hand, they duly understand that we cannot supply monomer immediately after they
decide to start polymer production.
