  • Patent number: 9828325
    Abstract: Methods for catalytically dehydrating lactate salt to acrylic acid, acrylate salt, or mixtures thereof with high yield and selectivity and without significant conversion to undesired side products, such as, acetaldehyde, propionic acid, and acetic acid, are provided. The catalysts include acid-base bifunctional catalysts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2017

  • Patent number: 9809525
    Abstract: A method of making terephthalic acid via reductive coupling of two molecules of propiolic acid or propiolic acid derivatives is presented. The reductive coupling can be catalyzed by compounds comprising metals, and propiolic acid or propiolic acid derivatives can be produced from acetylene and carbon dioxide. At least 4 of the 8 carbons in the terephthalic acid are non-fossil-derived.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8871319
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are flexible barrier packages composed of materials that are substantially free of virgin, petroleum-based compounds. The flexible barrier packages contain a sealant that has a biobased content of at least about 85%. The sealant is laminated to an outer substrate that has a biobased content of at least about 95% via a tie layer that can further include an extruded substrate. The extruded substrate has a biobased content of at least about 85%. Ink optionally can be deposited on either side of the outer substrate, and the exterior surface of the outer substrate can further include a lacquer. A barrier material layer can be deposited or laminated between the first tie layer and the outer substrate. The flexible barrier packages of the invention are useful for enclosing a consumer product, for example, food, drink, wipes, shampoo, conditioner, skin lotion, shave lotion, liquid soap, bar soap, toothpaste, and detergent.
