  • Publication number: 20240018426
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for manufacturing bio-based hydrocarbons, such as bio-propylene and optionally bio-gasoline, and to a bio-propylene composition, a bio-gasoline component and to a method of producing a (co)polymer composition. The process can include hydrotreating an oxygen-containing bio-based feedstock, followed by gas-liquid separation and optionally fractionation, to provide a hydrotreated bio-based hydrocarbon feed containing less than 1 wt.-% of gaseous compounds (NTP), providing a catalytic cracking feed containing the hydrotreated bio-based hydrocarbon feed; catalytically cracking the catalytic cracking feed in a catalytic cracking reactor at a temperature of at least 450° C. using a moving solid catalyst to obtain a cracking effluent; and recovering from the cracking effluent a fraction rich in bio-propylene.

  • Patent number: 9056979
    Abstract: Disclosed is a biodegradable polyester mixture comprising 45 to 95 wt %, based on the total weight of polyester I and II, of a polyester I constructed from an aliphatic C9-C18 dicarboxylic acid or a C9-C18 dicarboxylic acid derivative; terephthalic acid or a terephthalic acid derivative; a C3-C6 diol; an at least trihydric alcohol; and a chain extender. The biodegradable polyester mixture further comprises 5 to 55 wt %, based on the total weight of polyester I and II, of a polyester II constructed from an aliphatic C4-C6 dicarboxylic acid or a C4-C6 dicarboxylic acid derivative; terephthalic acid or a terephthalic acid derivative; a C3-C6 diol; an at least trihydric alcohol; and a chain extender. The biodegradable polyester mixture further comprises 10 to 25 wt %, based on the total weight, of calcium carbonate; and 3 to 15 wt %, based on the total weight, of talc.
