20100010276 | PROCESS FOR PREPARING TETRAMETHYL GLYCOLIDE - The present invention relates to a process for preparing tetramethylglycolide by heating a composition which comprises at least 50% by weight of 2-hydroxy-isobutyric acid and/or tetramethylglycolide to a temperature of at least 100° C. | 01-14-2010 |
20130150631 | HYDROCONVERSION OF RENEWABLE FEEDSTOCKS - A hydrocarbon conversion process comprises contacting a renewable feedstock under hydroprocessing conditions with a bulk catalyst to form oleochemicals such as fatty alcohols, esters, and normal paraffins. Advantageously, the reaction conditions can be selected to directly convert the renewable feedstock to the desired product(s). | 06-13-2013 |
20130158297 | ESTERIFYING AN ETHANOL AND ACETIC ACID MIXTURE TO PRODUCE AN ESTER FEED FOR HYDROGENOLYSIS - Disclosed herein are processes for alcohol production by hydrogenating acetic acid to obtain a mixture of ethanol and acetic acid, esterifying the mixture to produce an esterification product and reducing the esterification product. The mixture may provide a sufficient amount of ethanol and acetic acid for esterification and reduces the need for additional acetic acid and/or ethanol. This may reduce the recycle of ethanol in the hydrogenolysis process and improve ethanol productivity. | 06-20-2013 |
20130296615 | MULTI-POLLUTANT ABATEMENT DEVICE AND METHOD - A method for removing contaminants from industrial exhaust gas. The method includes contacting the exhaust gas with a mist of water and RNH | 11-07-2013 |
20140142349 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ETHANOL FROM METHYL ACETATE - The present invention relates to a process for producing ethanol by methyl acetate hydrogenolysis. The process comprises the step of reacting carbon monoxide and methanol in a reaction medium to form a reaction solution that comprises acetic acid and from 0.5 to 25 wt. % methyl acetate. The process further comprises the step of esterifying the acetic acid and feeding the methyl acetate to a distillation column to remove alkyl halides. The process further comprises the steps of reacting the methyl acetate stream that does not contain alkyl halides and hydrogen in the presence of a second catalyst to form an alcohol product that comprises ethanol and/or methanol. | 05-22-2014 |
20160115109 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALLYL ALCOHOL AND ALLYL ALCOHOL PRODUCED THEREBY - Disclosed are a method of preparing allyl alcohol and allyl alcohol prepared thereby. The method of preparing allyl alcohol includes adding glycerol with formic acid in an amount of 0.8˜2 equivalents relative to 1 equivalent of glycerol, and increasing a reaction temperature to 220˜260° C. from room temperature at a heating rate of 2.0˜7.0° C./min so that glycerol and formic acid are reacted. | 04-28-2016 |
