Techno-economic analysis of a biorenewable route to produce trimellitic acid

Present study investigates techno-economic feasibility of trimellitic acid (TMLA) production from a biorenewable precursor 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) for the first time. A 5 kmol/hr HMF feed rate to produce 99% pure TMLA is considered to provide a roadmap for fixing the minimum sales price of TM...
