Pravin Pandharinath UPARE has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11597709
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a preparing method for 5-alkoxymethylfurfural, including steps of (a) preparing fructose, (b) mixing the fructose, an organic acid catalyst, and an organic solvent, thereby preparing mixing solution, and (c) heating the mixing solution, thereby preparing 5-alkoxymethylfurfural. Therefore, 5-alkoxymethylfurfural may be effectively prepared without by-products from fructose.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2023
    Assignee: KOREA RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: Dong Won Hwang, Young Kyu Hwang, Ma Eum Lee, Pravin Pandharinath Upare, Do Young Hong

  • Patent number: 10253012
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for preparation of lactide using a lactide purification process, comprising introducing an aqueous solution comprising lactic acid into a reactor filled with a catalyst and reacting the same to produce crude lactide vapor; and purifying the crude lactide vapor to produce lactide crystals, wherein a first purification comprises collecting and crystallizing the crude lactide vapor using a first solvent to produce lactide crystals, and separating the lactide crystal from a residue through filtration.
