Abstract: Dwindling oil resources and the need to limit global carbon dioxide emissions are two of the main drivers for the accelerating transition from fossil to biological raw materials in the chemical industry. Bio-based materials such as sugars, oils and wood products are increasingly replacing oil- and coal-derived chemicals as the primary raw materials for the synthesis of polymers, fibers, pharmaceuticals and other chemical products. A compilation of the most relevant articles from the online edition of "ULLMANN's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry", this handbook contains a wealth of information on biological raw materials for use in the chemical industry, with information on availability, processes and products. Industrial uses for various bio-based bulk chemicals are surveyed, including fats and oils, sugars, wood products, chitin and gelatin -- Source other than Library of Congress.
