This LCA study was based on proof-of-concept-research investigating paracetamol synthesis from purified terpenes under the assumption that terpene isolation from CST is practicably attainable. As such no primary experimental data on β-pinene isolation from CST was recorded as part of this project. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, established process data for β-pinene isolation from CST has not been published in the literature at the time of this LCA study. To estimate the impacts incurred from CST-derived β-pinene within the presented cradle-to-gate LCA study in the absence of experimental data, a CST fractionation train for βpinene isolation was designed based on VLE predictions, inspired by a limonene thermal separation system previously described by Helmdach et al. The CST distillation system was modelled in Aspen Plus using the NRTL-RK property method.
