ITACONIC ACID PRODUCTION

Itaconic acid production from C6

fraction of delignified straw pulp with

A. terreus in batch fermentation

Itaconic acid is for used synthetic

resins, synthetic fibers, plastics,

Paint:

The roughly 20-30% Phthalic anhydride in conventional paint, (Uradil

AZ516 Z-60) was replaced by the purified itaconic acid to make a white

paint.

Application tests:

● Hardness

● Flexibility

● Reflection (QUV-b)

● Yellowing

APPLICATION OF ITACONIC ACID

Name - Date

Alkyd resins are polycondensates based on ● Fatty acids or vegetable oils 30-70%

● Polyols like glycerol 10-40%

● Polyacids like phtalic anhydride 10-40%

Properties ● Broad molecular weight distribution; branched structure

● Residual hydroxyl and carboxyl groups for wetting properties

● Versatility in design

● Renewable monomers

● Autoxidative drying

Name - Date

● Successful scale up to produce crystalline itaconic acid (IA) from C6

wheat straw pulp

● Successful application of cellulosic IA in white paint.

● High yield and productivity in the pilot fermentation: 0.38 g/g and in 78% of

the time.

● The crystallization is robust and high crystal purities are obtained (no

negative effects identified when using wheat straw pulp as feedstock)

● Room for optimization in recovery/purification (hardware and process)

● The produced paint is of good quality. Compared to the conventional paint

it reveals improved opacity and reflection and is biobased and phthalic

anhydride free.
