Production of butylene glycol. Dr. Lynferd J. Wickerham selects the bacteria that will convert corn into butylene glycol at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. This is one step in the research that led to the development of a fermentation process for converting corn into butylene glycol, which has proved successful on a semi-commercial scale. 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 purposes. In the laboratory, the scientists have succeeded in turning butylene glycol into butadiene, from which synthetic rubber can be made. The next step is to find a way to carry out this process on a larger scale

Production of butylene glycol. Dr. George E. Ward turns a valve in one of the experimental fermentation vats in which corn is being converted into butylene glycol at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. This is part of the laboratory work that led to the development of a fermentation process for converting corn and other grains into butylene glycol on a semi-commercial scale. Butylene glycol 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. Now they are trying to do it on a semi-commercial 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. Department scientists have succeeded on a laboratory scale in turning butylene glycol into butadiene, which can be used in making synthetic rubber. Now they are trying to do it on a semi-commercial scale
