TORAY DEVELOPS BIO-BASED PRODUCTION PROCESS FOR NYLON 66 RAW MATERIAL

Toray Industries says that it has developed the world’s first 100% bio-based
adipic acid, a raw material for nylon 66 (polyamide 66), from sugars derived
from inedible biomass. This was achieved using a proprietary synthesis technique
combining the company’s microbial fermentation technology and chemical
purification technology that harnesses separation membranes.

The company has started to scale up its capabilities in this area and is set to
test polymerization of nylon 66, develop production technology, conduct market
research and take steps to commercialize applications for this bio-based adipic
acid by around 2030.

Pressure to develop eco-friendly nylon 66 has risen in recent years amid a
growing awareness of the need to realize a sustainable society. One challenge is
that conventional chemical synthesis for producing adipic acid, the raw material
of nylon 66, generates a greenhouse gas called dinitrogen monoxide.

Toray was the first in the world to discover microorganisms that produce an
adipic acid intermediate from sugars. The company reconfigured metabolic
pathways within microorganisms to enhance production efficiency by applying
genetic engineering technology, which artificially recombines genes to
streamline synthesis in microorganisms. It also employed bioinformatics
technologies to design optimal microbial fermentation pathways for synthesis.
The quantity of the intermediate synthesized by microorganisms has increased
more than 1,000-fold since the initial discovery, and the efficiency of
synthesis has improved dramatically.

Toray is using reverse osmosis separation membranes to concentrate the
intermediate in the purification process. This approach is more energy efficient
than other methods that do not use these membranes. The bio-adipic acid
production technique is free of dinitrogen monoxide emissions, unlike the
manufacturing processes for petroleum-derived adipic acid.
