  • Method for producing cyclobutanediol compound
    Patent number: 11623904
    Abstract: Provided is a process in which a cyclobutanediol compound having a high cis:trans ratio can be stably obtained. The cyclobutanediol compound having a cis:trans ratio of 1.5:1 to 5000:1 is produced by using at least one compound selected from a group consisting of a cyclobutanedione compound, a cyclobutane ketol compound, and a cyclobutanediol compound as a raw material, and performing a catalytic hydrogenation reaction and an isomerization reaction in the cyclobutanediol compound in a solid phase state in the presence of a metal catalyst without adding a solvent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 17, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2023
    Assignee: JNC CORPORATION
    Inventors: Shinichi Furusato, Toshiyuki Kawanabe, Kaori Tsuruoka, Hironao Sajiki, Tsuyoshi Yamada, Kwihwan Park

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING CELLULOSE PARTICLES USING POROUS MEMBRANE
    Publication number: 20210032415
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing cellulose particles or cellulose acetate particles. By a production method including: (a) dissolving cellulose acetate in an organic solvent and preparing a cellulose acetate solution; (b) obtaining an emulsion of the cellulose acetate solution and an aqueous medium using a porous membrane; and (c) precipitating cellulose acetate particles from the emulsion, cellulose acetate particles are produced. By further saponifying the cellulose acetate obtained by the production method, cellulose particles are produced.

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING CELLULOSE PARTICLES OR CELLULOSE ACETATE PARTICLES
    Publication number: 20210032372
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing cellulose particles or cellulose acetate particles. By a production method including: (a) dissolving cellulose acetate in an organic solvent and preparing a cellulose acetate solution; (b) obtaining an emulsion by passing the cellulose acetate solution and an aqueous medium through a gap between an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder arranged coaxially inside the outer cylinder and rotating at least one of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder; and (c) precipitating cellulose acetate particles from the emulsion, cellulose acetate particles are produced. By further saponifying the cellulose acetate obtained by the production method, cellulose particles are produced.
