  • Method of preparing glycerol alkyl ethers
    Patent number: 9000230
    Abstract: A process for glycerol etherification, including a recycle of glycerol and/or mono-ether, to produce glycerol alkyl ethers with low amount of mono-ether by reacting glycerol and olefinic hydrocarbon, and/or the corresponding aldehydes, ketones and alcohols, having 2 to 10 carbon atoms in the presence of homogeneous acid catalyst with hindered formation of olefin oligomers comprising of two essential steps: reaction step (1) neutralization and salt removal step (2).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2015

  • METHOD FOR REMOVING STYRENE
    Publication number: 20100107873
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for removing styrene from waste airstreams and for purifying styrene, in which a waste airstream including styrene is passed through synthetic hydrophobic sorbent particles so that styrene from the waste airstream is adsorbed by the synthetic hydrophobic sorbent particles resulting in an airstream substantially free from styrene or substantially purified styrene.
