Bio-based acrylic acid from sugar via propylene glycol and allyl alcohol
TL;DR: In this article, a new route for producing bio-based acrylic acid is proposed, which starts with the conversion of carbohydrates to propylene glycol, being main or byproduct, and proceeds via a subsequent dehydration to allyl alcohol under gas-phase conditions over K-modified ZrO2 and a final oxidation over MoWVOx catalyst at atmospheric pressures.
