Techno-Economic Analysis of Producing Glacial Acetic Acid from Poplar Biomass via Bioconversion

Most of the current commercial production of glacial acetic acid (GAA) is by petrochemical routes, primarily methanol carbonylation. GAA is an intermediate in the production of plastics, textiles, dyes, and paints. GAA production from biomass might be an economically viable and sustainable alternati...
