  • Flexible polyurethane foams prepared using modified vegetable oil-based polyols
    Patent number: 8293808
    Abstract: A flexible polyurethane foam prepared by reacting, in the presence of a blowing agent, a polyisocyanate with an active hydrogen-containing composition that includes a modified vegetable oil-based polyol. The foams exhibit good load-bearing properties, relatively high sag factors, and/or good color retention upon exposure to light.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 25, 2004
    Date of Patent: October 23, 2012
    Assignee: Cargill, Incorporated
    Inventors: Ron Herrington, Jeffrey Malsam
  • Process for separating and recovering 3-hydroxypropionic acid and acrylic acid
    Patent number: 7279598
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for separating and recovering 3-hydroxypropionic acid from an aqueous solution comprising 3-hydroxypropionic acid and acrylic acid, comprising counter current extracting the aqueous solution with ethyl acetate extractant. Further disclosed is a process for separating and recovering 3-hydroxypropionic acid and acrylic acid from an aqueous solution comprising 3-hydroxypropionic acid and acrylic acid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 25, 2004
    Date of Patent: October 9, 2007
    Inventors: Xiangsheng Meng, Paraskevas Tsobanakis, Jeffrey Malsam, Timothy Abraham
  • Process for preparing carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof
    Patent number: 7186856
    Abstract: Processes for preparing carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof in which an ammonium salt of the carboxylic acid is heated in the presence of an organic reagent to split the salt and form the acid or, where the organic reagent is an esterifying agent, the corresponding ester. Both the acid and the ester may be dehydrated to form unsaturated counterparts.
