Production of butylene glycol. Corn for which new industrial uses are sought is milled at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. A fermentation process for converting grain into butylene glycol, developed in the laboratory, has proved successful on a semi-commercial scale in the pilot plant. Butylene glycol, hitherto a relatively rare chemical, can be used in making anti-freeze for automobiles and in the production of commercial solvents for various manufacturing purposes. Department scientists have succeeded on a laboratory scale in turning butylene glycol into butadiene, from which synthetic rubber can be made. The problem now is to develop a practical commercial process
