“…Degussa launched the first industrial acrolein production in 1942, producing acrolein through aldol condensation of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde [Eq. (1)]. [7] Aldol condensation remained to be the standard industrial practice into the late 1950s, but problems with incomplete conversion complicated the downstream separation, as the product and reactants had similar physical properties.…”

“…Although the majority of crude acrolein goes to the manufacture of acrylic acid, the major percentage (e.g., approximately 80 % in 2002 [1] ) of refined acrolein is consumed in the synthesis of methionine. Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is required by animals, but is not readily found in natural food sources.…”

Lu Liu recently completed her Ph.D. at the University of Tennessee with a dissertation entitled "Roles of non-thermal plasma in gas-phase glycerol dehydration catalyzed by supported silicotungstic acid". She believes in the importance of building a supportive chemical platform to make the renewable energy industry economically more viable, and seeks to apply her chemical engineering background to this effort. Her research interests lie in developing efficient catalytic routes for value-added production from renewable resources and transitioning catalytic processes from the laboratory to the industrial scale. X. Philip Ye received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, USA, in 2004. Prior to that, he worked as an engineer in a chemical company in China for six years. Since 2004, he has been an assistant professor and then associate professor the University of Tennessee. Working with an interdisciplinary team with a background in Biosystems/Agricultural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Chemistry, and Biotechnology, his current research focuses on the interface between biological systems and engineering processes to fill the void of engineering science in the transformation of biorenewables into fuels, chemicals, and materials, and to protect our environment. Joseph J. Bozell joined the Tennessee Center for Renewable Carbon in 2006. Prof. Bozell received his B.Sc. in chemistry from South Dakota State University, and a Ph.D. in organic synthesis and organometallic chemistry from Colorado State University. Before joining the University of Tennessee, he did postdoctoral work at the DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Prof. Bozell's primary interests are in using the tools of organic synthesis for converting renewable materials into chemical products.
