Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing biohydrocarbons. Further, the invention relates to biohydrocarbons obtainable by the methods of the invention and to a method of producing polymers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing biohydrocarbons which includes providing an isomeric raw material obtained from a bio-renewable feedstock, such as by deoxygenation, hydrodeoxygenation, hydrotreatment or hydrocracking, and containing at least 65 wt. % iso-paraffins, and thermally cracking the isomeric raw material to produce biohydrocarbons at a temperature (coil outlet temperature) of at most 825° C. The biohydrocarbons can further be polymerized to obtain bio-polymers such as polyolefins, polypropylene, polyethylene or copolymers such as polyethylene terephthalate.

Abstract: A method comprises conducting hydrodeoxygenation and optionally isomerization of raw material, wherein the method further comprises one or more solvent extraction steps and optionally hydrogenation to remove aromatic and/or naphthenic hydrocarbons from the material. The original aromatic and/or naphthenic content of the raw material is less than 21 vol-%. In the method, the aromatic and/or naphthenic content is reduced by more than 45%, preferably by more than 60%. A composition contains hydrocarbons produced by said method, wherein the total aromatic and/or naphthenic hydrocarbon content of the composition is less than a predefined low value, and C15-C20 i-paraffins are the main fraction of the hydrocarbon content of the composition, weight basis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of novel sulphur-containing polyamides from renewable sources, and methods for producing the same. The production method involves the preparation of sulphur-containing functional monomers, which can subsequently undergo polycondensation to from either AB- or AABB-type sulphur-containing polyamides. Furthermore, these novel polyamides display superior water barrier/adsorption, better retention of physical properties at elevated temperature (?Tg) and easier processability and polyolefin-compatibility than conventional polyamides. Potential applications for these novel polyamides include high-end electronic devices, organic light-emitting diode devices, components for charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and image sensors (CISs), films and coatings, food packaging films, furniture, appliances, sports equipment, consumer goods, wire and cable, and automotive components.
