  • 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.

  • POLYMERS AND METHODS OF PRODUCING THEREOF
    Publication number: 20180265629
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of producing polymers from furan and optionally diol compounds, using an organocatalyst. The furan compounds may include, for example, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid or 2,5-tetrahydrofurandicarboxylic acid. Provided herein are also polymer compositions, such as poly(alkylene-2,5-furandicarboxylate). The polymer compositions herein have a low metal content.

  • METHODS OF PRODUCING ALKYLFURANS
    Publication number: 20180065944
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of producing dialkylfurans, such as 2,5-dimethylfuran, and other alkyl furans, such as 2-methylfuran. For example, 2,5-dimethylfuran may be produced by reducing (5-methylfuran-2-yl)methanol or 2-(chloromethyl)-5-methylfuran.

  • DIAMINE COMPOUNDS, DINITRO COMPOUNDS AND OTHER COMPOUNDS, AND METHODS OF PRODUCING THEREOF AND USES RELATED THEREOF
    Publication number: 20170275236
    Abstract: Provided herein are (phenylene)dialkanamines, and methods of producing such (phenylene)dialkanamines from various furanyl and benzyl compounds. Such furanyl compounds may include, for example, bis(nitroalkyl)furans, bis(aminoalkyl)furans, and nitroalkyl(furan)acetonitriles. Such compounds may include, for example, bis(nitroalkyl)benzenes. Provided herein are also alkyldiamines, and methods for producing such alkyldiamines from furanyl compounds.

  • METHODS OF PRODUCING ALKYLFURANS
    Publication number: 20170267654
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of producing dialkylfurans, such as 2,5-dimethylfuran, and other alkyl furans, such as 2-methylfuran. For example, 2,5-dimethylfuran may be produced by hydrogenation of (5-methylfuran-2-yl) methanol or 2-(chloromethyl)-5-methylfuran in the presence of a solid supported metal catalyst having an excess of either basic or acidic sites (as determined by chemisorption of CO2 or NH3). The process could further include a urea reagent (TMU, DMPU, TMI) and an alkyl benzene.
