Production of butylene glycol. Butylene glycol is recovered from corn fermentation liquors in an experimental still in the pilot plant of the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. This is one step in the Department's research that led to the development of a fermentation method for converting corn into butylene glycol, a chemical that can be used in making anti-freeze for automobiles and in the production of commercial solvents for various manufacturing purposes. Research now is directed toward the development of a practical way to turn the butylene glycol into butadiene, from which synthetic rubber can be made. The work has already been done on a laboratory scale

Production of butylene glycol. A department scientist checks the results of experimental fermentations of corn to produce butylene glycol at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. This research led to the development of a semi-commercial scale of a fermentation process for converting corn into butylene glycol, a chemical that can be used in making anti-freeze for automobiles and in the production of commercial solvents for various purposes. Studies are now underway to devise a practical method for turning butylene glycol into butadiene, from which synthetic rubber can be made. The work has already been done on a laboratory scale

Production of butylene glycol. Dr. George E. Ward inspects two types of pure butylene glycol made from corn at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. Dr. Ward and his associates developed a fermentation process for converting corn and other grains into butylene glycol that has given good results on a semi-commercial scale. This chemical can be used in making anti-freeze for automobiles and in the production of solvents for various manufacturing processes.
