Scaling up Bio-based Production of High-Purity Acetic Acid (BIO-HAP)
Description
BIOHAP - A greener future in the chemical industry will be launched through
- kilogram scale process development,
- impurity reduction,
- real-time analysis, and
- life cycle assessment of high purity bio-based acetic acid production.
By scaling up the process, minimizing impurities, implementing real-time analyses, and conducting life cycle assessments, BIOHAP aims to create a more environmentally friendly and efficient production method.
These measures contribute to improving sustainability and efficiency in the chemical industry while simultaneously reducing environmental impacts.
