Bioproduction of styrene from renewable feedstocks using ionic liquids as solvents for in situ product removal

Styrene is a large volume commodity chemical which is used as a precursor for a diverse range of useful polymers and co-polymers. The conventional styrene synthesis is performed through dehydrogenation of petroleum-derived ethylbenzene, an energy intensive process. Its natural production has been id...
