  • Publication number: 20250242309
    Abstract: Disclosed is a means for facilitating, in a method for separating and individually collecting organic acids and alkali salts from organic acid alkali salts, separation/collection of lactic acids and alkali salts via an economic and eco-friendly diffusion analysis method without adding a complicated process such as electrodialysis or electrolysis. During a process of diffusion dialysis of organic acid salts, gaseous components that can release protons are injected into a collection part so that the electroneutrality in solution can be maintained and protons can be transferred to a feed part, thereby facilitating the collection of organic acids. Also, alkali cations that have moved to the collection part may form alkali salts with the gaseous components and be then collected, and a nonsolvent may be used to lower the solubility of the alkali salts for easy collection.

  • Publication number: 20250161924
    Abstract: A method of producing a catalyst for synthesizing alkyl acrylate from alkyl lactate and a method of producing alkyl acrylate using the catalyst are disclosed herein. More specifically, a catalyst including zeolite is produced by a method that does not use an organic structure directing agent, and a dehydration reaction of alkyl lactate is promoted using the catalyst, thereby obtaining alkyl acrylate in a yield higher than obtained by conventional methods.

  • Publication number: 20250051491
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to: an ethylene oligomerization catalyst containing a ligand compound; a catalyst composition employing same; and a method for producing an ethylene oligomer by using same. The catalyst exhibits excellent selectivity to oligomers and selectivity to 1-hexane, thus making it possible to mass-produce 1-hexane, which is an industrially useful chemical raw material, with high purity.
