  • Method of producing lower alcohols from glycerol
    Patent number: 7943805
    Abstract: A reactive-separation process converts glycerin into lower alcohols, having boiling points less than 200° C., at high yields. Conversion of natural glycerin to propylene glycol through an acetol intermediate is achieved at temperatures from 150° to 250° C. at a pressure ranging from 1 and 25 bar. The preferred applications of the propylene glycol are as an antifreeze, deicing compound, or anti-icing compound. The preferred catalyst for this process in a copper-chromium powder.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 18, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2011
    Assignee: The Curators Of The University Of Missouri
    Inventors: Galen J. Suppes, William Rusty Sutterlin, Mohanprasad Dasari
