  • Patent number: 9328188
    Abstract: A method for preparing a phenol-formaldehyde resin is provided. The method includes extracting a biomass pyrolysis oil to obtain a first phenolic mixture, mixing the first phenolic mixture, furfural and an alkaline catalyst to proceed to a first polymerization reaction to form a phenol-formaldehyde resin precursor solution, and adding the alkaline catalyst to the phenol-formaldehyde resin precursor solution to proceed to a second polymerization reaction to form a phenol-formaldehyde resin solution. The disclosure also provides a resin material prepared from the phenol-formaldehyde resin. The disclosure further provides a method for preparing a resin molding material.

  • Publication number: 20060090647
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for catching particles having diameters size down to the nanometer level including a first step of increasing particle diameters of particles contained in an outlet gas from a fabrication process of nano-particles or an exhaust from a combustion; and a second step of introducing the resulting effluent from the first step into a rotating packed bed. The first step involves contacting the gas/exhaust with droplets or water vapor, creating collision of the nano-particles with the droplets or condensation of water vapor using the nano-particles as condensation nuclei, so that the size of the nano-particles increases to the micro level. The second step uses the minute water drops generated from and the hindrance of the rotating packed bed to catch the micro-particles in the gas/exhaust under a relatively high centrifugal force.

  • Patent number: 6884401
    Abstract: A high viscosity liquid is fed into a rotation pack bed at a position with a distance far enough from a rotation axis, creating a centrifugal force exerted on the high viscosity liquid overwhelming a drag thereof, so that it can flow radially through the rotation pack bed. A high pressure gas is introduced into the rotation pack bed peripherally and/or a suction force source is connected to a position near the rotation axis, so that a volatile component contained in the high viscosity fluid is entrained in the gas counter currently flowing through the rotation pack bed and withdrawn from the position near the rotation axis, or the volatile component exits from the position near the rotation axis in gas phase, and thus the volatile component is removed from the high viscosity liquid. A second fluid can also be fed into the rotation pack bed to react with the high viscosity liquid, so that a reaction product is formed, and a volatile side product is removed at the same time.

  • Patent number: 6313235
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing polypropylene terephthalate/polyethylene terephthalate (PPT/PET) copolyester, which comprises a group of processes from (a) to (e). Process (a) comprises subjecting bis-2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET), pure terephthalic acid (PTA) and 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) to undergo esterification reaction to produce BHET and bis-2-hydroxypropyl terephthalate (BHPT), and then subjecting BHET and BHPT to undergo copolymerization reaction. Process (b) comprises subjecting PTA and 1,3-PDO to undergo esterification reaction to produce BHPT, adding BHET, and then subjecting BHET and BHPT to undergo copolymerization reaction. Process (c) comprises subjecting BHET and BEPT to undergo copolymerization reaction. Process (d) comprises subjecting PTA, ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,3-PDO to undergo esterification reaction to produce BHET and BHPT, and then subjecting BHET and BHPT to undergo copolymerization reaction.

  • Patent number: 6187900
    Abstract: The present invention provides a polyester fiber of easy dyeability. The propylene chain of polypropylene terephthalte (PPT) of easy dyeability is incorporated into the main chain of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and a PPT/PET copolyester having both ethylene and propylene groups can thus be formed. The PPT/PET copolyester is then spun into a copolyester fiber. The copolyester fiber of the present invention can be successfully dyed with a disperse dye at a temperature below 100° C. in the absence of a dye carrier.

  • Patent number: 5872204
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel poly(1,3-propylene terephthalate), which is prepared from reacting terephthalic acid and 1,3-propanediol in the presence of an effective catalytic amount of ethylene glycol titanate to undergo esterification to form a monomer; and polymerizing the monomer in the presence of an effective catalytic amount of antimony acetate to obtain poly(1,3-propylene terephthalate). The obtained poly(1,3-propylene terephthalate) (PPT) has an intrinsic viscosity (IV) of 0.65-0.91 dl/g, acid number (--COOH amount) of less than 40 meq/kg, and L*>60. Without adding a pigment, the yellowness b* of PPT is below 9, even below 5. The yellowness b* of PPT even reaches below 3 when a pigment is incorporated.
