Abstract: A Method for the synthesis of ?-amino acids or derivatives thereof, includes the following steps synthesis of an ?-oxoester/linear acid by hydroformylation by CO/H2 mixture of at least one monounsaturated acid/ester, the monounsaturated acid/ester preferably resulting from a reaction of metathesis of oils/fats from renewable sources; synthesis of a linear ?-amino acid/ester and/or ?-aminoamide, subjecting the aforementioned ?-oxoester/linear acid to reductive amination; and possible synthesis of a linear ?-amino acid, subjecting the aforementioned linear ?-aminoester and/or ?-aminoamide to hydrolysis.

Abstract: This invention relates to the processing of plastics materials for re-use and valorisation in chemical recycling processes for the re-use of substantially plastics materials otherwise destined for disposal. In particular the invention relates to a process for the pyrolysis of substantially plastics material to obtain at least liquid hydrocarbons that are in the liquid state at 25° C. comprising the following steps: a) feeding the substantially plastics material optionally already in the molten and/or preheated state to a pyrolysis reactor; b) bringing said material in said pyrolysis reactor to a temperature of between 330° C. and 580° C. in the substantial absence of oxygen and at a pressure of between atmospheric pressure and 13 bar (a); c) holding said material in said pyrolysis reactor at a temperature of between 330° C. and 580° C.

Abstract: The present invention is related to the treatment of plastic material to be destined for chemical recycling processes for the valorisation of substantially plastic material otherwise destined for disposal. In particular, the invention concerns a process for the pyrolysis of substantially plastic material to obtain at least liquid hydrocarbons at 25° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of plastic materials to be used for chemical recycling processes for the enhancement of substantially plastic materials otherwise destined for disposal. Specifically, the invention relates to a process for the pyrolysis of substantially plastic material to obtain at least hydrocarbons that are liquid at 25° C., comprising the following steps: a) feeding a substantially plastic material to a pyrolysis reactor; b) bringing said material in said pyrolysis reactor to a temperature of between 330° C. and 580° C. in the substantial absence of oxygen and at a pressure of between atmospheric pressure and 13 bara; c) maintaining said material in said pyrolysis reactor for a sufficient amount of time to produce an effluent in the gaseous state; d) partially or fully condensing said effluent in the gaseous state, so as to form at least one fluid comprising hydrocarbons that are liquid at 25° C.

Abstract: A method for synthesizing regioregular polyesters, starting from asymmetric diols, may provide the polymer ordered structure and advantageous physical-chemical properties. Such methods can make it is possible to obtain regioregular polyesters having high glass transition temperatures Tg and crystalline properties. In the case in which the asymmetric diols are used in a pure enantiomeric form, with respect to the chiral carbon bound to the secondary hydroxyl, through the above-mentioned method it is possible to obtain regioregular and stereoregular polyesters, which may have thermal and crystalline properties further ameliorative with respect to non-chiral regioregular polymers.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of polymer synthesis. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for the synthesis of regioregular polyesters, wherein the polymer ordered structure provides them with advantageous physical-chemical properties, starting from asymmetric diols. More particularly, by the method of the present invention it is possible to obtain regioregular polyesters having high glass transition temperatures Tg and crystalline properties. In the case in which the asymmetric diols are used in a pure enantiomeric form, with respect to the chiral carbon bound to the secondary hydroxyl, through the above-mentioned method it is possible to obtain regioregular and stereoregular polyesters, characterized by thermal and crystalline properties further ameliorative with respect to non-chiral regioregular polymers.
