1 million pounds annually
According to the chemical profile at Scorecard, 1,3-propanediol is a
high volume chemical with production exceeding 1 million pounds
annually in the U.S.
http://www.scorecard.org/chemical-profiles/summary.tcl?edf_substance_id=504-63-2
?Although 1,3-propanediol is a simple organic chemical, unlike other
glycols it has historically been a high priced speciality. The high
cost and limited availability has restricted its commercial use. A new
proprietary process, developed by Shell Chemicals, combined with the
economics of a world-scale production unit, allows PDO to be produced
cost-efficiently and priced competitively with similar compounds. PDO
can now be regarded as a viable industrial chemical intermediate.?
============
Applications
============
?PDO can be formulated into composites, adhesives, laminates, powder
and UV-cured coatings, mouldings, novel aliphatic polyesters,
copolyesters, solvents, anti-freeze and other end uses. Its most
successful application to date has been in the formulation of CORTERRA
Polymers, a polytrimethylene terephthalate. CORTERRA Polymers are
principally used in the manufacture of carpet and textile fibres but
are also finding applications as engineering thermoplastics, films and
coatings.?

Growth
======
Because of a new proprietary process developed by Shell Chemicals
there will be a rapid growth of this market.
160 million pounds of PDO per year
?PDO can now be produced much more cost efficiently and priced
comparably to other similar compounds. Currently, the plant?s capacity
is more than 160 million pounds of PDO per year (72 kta).?
APPLICATIONS
?In urethane-based polymer systems, PDO can be used as a chain
extender. In thermoplastic urethanes, (TPU), its use can lead to
improved thermal and hydrolytic as well as thermal dimensional
stability. It can be used as the diol in polyester polyols and the
mixed adipate ester of 1,3-propanediol with 1,4-butanediol is a liquid
under most operational conditions.?
?PDO can be used to modify polyester systems. This property is
particularly beneficial for the production of powder coatings where
partial substitution of traditional glycols with PDO can produce
coatings with improved flexibility without adversely affecting other
key properties such as storage stability and outdoor weatherability.?
?In engine coolant formulations, PDO demonstrates improved heat
stability, less corrosion especially to lead solder, and lower
toxicity than ethylene glycol coolants, all important considerations
for today?s highly engineered autos and trucks.?
?Solvent uses of PDO include water based inks such as ink-jet and screen inks.?
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
PDO demonstrates the characteristic chemical properties of an alcohol.
Reactions include:
?Forms esters or diesters by reaction with acyl halides, anhydrides or acids
Forms ethers or diethers by reaction with alkyl halides or epoxides,
or by dehydration
May be oxidized to aldehydes and carboxylic acids
Reacts with aldehydes and ketones to form cyclic acetals and ketals
Forms urethanes on reaction with isocyanates
Reacts with hydrogen chloride, thionyl chloride or sulfur monochloride
to give 3-chloro-1-propanol (trimethylene chlorohydrin)
Forms cyclic compounds such as trimethylene carbonate and its oligomers,
and trimethylene borates.?

DuPont and Tate & Lyle scientists have developed a new method to use
corn to produce 1,3 propanediol (PDO).
?This new product, Bio-PDO, is a key ingredient in the production of
DuPont Sorona, the newest DuPont polymer for clothing, carpeting,
plastics and many other possible uses.?
?The production of Bio-PDO consumes 30-40 percent less energy than
petroleum-based PDO (on a per pound basis). Production of 100 million
pounds of Bio-PDO in the Loudon plant will save the equivalent of 10
million gallons of gasoline per year.?
"The world is in a position today where we can no longer afford to
rely solely on oil and oil-derived products to sustain us," DuPont?s
Holliday said. "Biology-based solutions offer us the opportunity to
transform economies by creating new, high-performance bio-materials
that use less energy to manufacture, are preferred by our customers
and are better for the long-term health of our economy and the
environment."

DuPont scientists have known about PDO as a byproduct of petroleum,
which made it too costly to make on a mass scale.
?Now researchers at the Wilmington, Del., company have found a way to
produce PDO from a genetically engineered bacteria that acts like a
tiny chemical factory, they said. It cranks out PDO after feeding on
corn sugar, which is cheaper than oil and renewable.?
?DuPont bacteria will produce 100 million pounds of PDO in 2006,
company officials hope. After seven years and an estimated $350
million to $400 million investment, DuPont has commercialized its
Sorona polymer,"
?Sales of Sorona ? which will be woven into clothing, carpeting and
car seats ? are expected to total $300 million to $600 million by
2010.?
20 million pounds a year
?Until then, DuPont wants to build up the market using the traditional
petroleum-based fiber. The company is ramping up oil-based production
at its North Carolina plant, said John Ranieri, vice president of
applied biosciences. Production is currently sold out, at 20 million
pounds a year.?
??the company expects to notch sales of $30 million in 2005, double
this year's level. DuPont wants to expand the Sorona market in Asia, a
huge textile market.?

From the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (2002)
?PDO is used to make a new class of polymers with enhanced
functionality. The market for PDO is currently about 100 million
pounds and is growing very rapidly, as new products are developed to
capitalize upon the functionality of the polymers that can be
synthesized from PDO. This market offers a significant opportunity to
develop new, cost-competitive processes
that utilize renewable feedstocks to produce PDO. Introduction of such
processes would avoid the use of more petroleum, provide substantial
energy savings (10 to 19 trillion Btu), and afford significant market
penetration for the burgeoning bio-products industry. Corn-derived
glucose is
a logical consideration for a renewable feedstock to produce PDO, as
corn refiners are a concentrated, low-cost source of biomass that can
achieve the production scales necessary to match the projected demand
for PDO. Research conducted at PNNL indicates that it is possible to
develop a new fermentation system exploiting proprietary collections
of filamentous fungi to
convert corn-derived glucose to an organic acid intermediate that can
then be converted to PDO using one of PNNL?s proprietary catalysts.
The proposed program supported development of a new fermentation
organism to produce malonic acid at high yields, as well as
engineering design to develop fermentation processes to produce
malonic acid at suitable scale and purity.
The program also supported development and demonstration of the
catalysis processes to convert the malonic acid to PDO. Finally, the
program supported scale-up engineering and demonstration of the
processes at an appropriate pilot scale.?

1,3-Propanediol Production From Renewable Feedstock
?Increasing environmental awareness and the recognition of limited
future petroleum supplies have help drive companies like DuPont into
looking for alternative and sustainable feedstocks for their
carbon-based products. Genetic engineering of E. coli to produce
1,3-propanediol (PDO) from D-glucose at high yields and titers is one
highly successful example. This was accomplished by utilizing genes
from two separate natural strains which can either ferment glucose to
glycerol or utilize glycerol as a carbon source to produce PDO as a
by-product. The new recombinant E. coli strain was then further
genetically modified to improve yields and titers to commercially
viable values. This then allowed for a commercial process based on a
renewable resource corn sugar that is more economical, less capital
intensive, more environmentally friendly than the current chemical
process based on petroleum products. The success of the bioprocess is
key to future growth of DuPont's newest polymer product Sorona.?
