Azelaic acid is a renewable monomer used in the production of lubricants, polymers, and skincare. While conventionally ...

Researchers developed a biorefinery model in BioSTEAM to evaluate industrial-grade azelaic acid production from high-oleic soybean oil using the two-step oxidative cleavage (TSOC) process. The modeled ...

UC Santa Cruz chemists have discovered a new way to produce biodiesel from waste oil that both simplifies the process and requires relatively mild heat. This discovery has the potential to make the ...
