Plastics from Biomass(4)Sep-05-10 An accidental discovery has led researchers to a new method of making plastic bottles, moisturizer and antifreeze, out of biomass instead of petroleum.Normally the biomass refining process required strong acids or other harmful reagents, but Professor Walter Trahanovsky was surprised to find that subjecting materials to high temperatures and pressures yielded significant amounts of propylene glycol and ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is commonly used in antifreeze, polyester fabric and plastic bottles. More Info:[POPSCI.COM][NEXT]
