This study analyzes Pentylene Glycol Production By Catalytic Hydrogenation of Glutaric Acid, covering manufacturing, process flow, operating expenses, and financial considerations.
Last Updated: January, 2025
This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of pentylene glycol production by the catalytic hydrogenation of glutaric acid. The preparation of pentylene glycol or 1,5-pentanediol is carried out by the catalytic hydrogenation of glutaric acid. The reaction begins in the presence of a Re–Pd/SiO2 (Re/Pd = 8) catalyst that carries the hydrogenation of glutaric acid and gives a mixture of diols, including 1,6-hexanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, and 1,4-butanediol. The crude products are purified by distillation to obtain pentylene glycol as the final product.
