Patents Assigned to Origin Materials Operating, Inc.
  • Polymers and methods of producing thereof
    Patent number: 11905362
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of producing polymers from furan and optionally diol compounds, using an organocatalyst. A polymer composition comprising a polymer prepared by the method is contemplated. Provided herein are also polymer compositions, such as poly(alkylene-2,5-furandicarboxylate). In some embodiments, polymer compositions have any one of the characteristics discussed herein, or any combinations thereof.

  • METHODS FOR PRODUCING 5-(HALOMETHYL)FURFURAL
    Publication number: 20230032460
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods to produce 5-(halomethyl)furfural, including 5-(chloromethyl)furfural, by acid-catalyzed conversion of C6 saccharides, including isomers thereof, polymers thereof, and certain derivatives thereof. The methods make use of acids with lower concentrations, and allows for conversion of sugars into 5-(halomethyl)furfural at higher temperatures and faster reaction or residence times.

  • ACTIVATED CARBON MATERIALS, AND METHODS OF PREPARING THEREOF AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220144647
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing activated carbon from a resin composite made up of furanic polymer. The method includes producing a resin composite from feedstock (e.g., in the presence of an acid and a salt), combining the resin composite with a base to form an impregnated material, and carbonizing the impregnated material to produce the and salt activated carbon. Provided herein are also resin composites and activated carbon materials.
