A team of engineers is reimagining one of the essential processes in modern manufacturing. Their goal? To transform how a chemical called acrylonitrile (ACN) is made—not by building world-scale ...
The start-up Trillium Renewable Chemicals has closed a $10.6 million series A funding round that the firm says it will use to build a demonstration-scale plant for its catalytic biobased acrylonitrile ...
Trillium Renewable Chemicals has selected Ineos Nitriles’ Green Lake facility in Port Lavaca, Texas, to establish a demonstration plant for converting plant-based glycerol into acrylonitrile. The ...
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), shown here on creels, is produced from acrylonitrile (ACN) and is the most commonly used precursor for carbon fiber manufacturing. ACN is typically sourced from ...
