Water hyacinth-derived biopolyols for polyurethane production using crude glycerine as liquefaction solvent

Water hyacinth -- an identified abandoned aquatic biomass -- was liquefied using locally sourced crude glycerine to produce biomass-derived polyols (biopolyols) suitable to replace petroleum-based polyols in polyurethane production. The liquefaction product containing the biopolyols was used to pr...
