  • Patent number: 9371258
    Abstract: A method for producing high density fuels from isoprene which can be produced via biosynthetic routes using biomass sugars as feedstock. This allows for the production of isoprene and isoprene-derived fuels from abundant waste materials with the potential to significantly reduce DoD carbon emissions. Embodiments of the invention describe a method for conversion of isoprene to full performance jet and diesel fuels. Isoprene can be selectively oligomerized to generate a distribution of branched chain hydrocarbons. Combination of an oligomerization catalyst with a metathesis catalyst allows for the synthesis of high density cyclic fuels with performance advantages (increased density and volumetric net heat of combustion) over conventional petroleum-based fuels.

  • Patent number: 9371259
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing vinyl chloride with acetylene and dichlorethane for large-scale industrial production. Acetylene, dichlorethane vapor and hydrogen chloride gas at a molar ratio of 1:(0.3-1.0):(0-0.20) are mixed; the raw mixed gas is preheated; the preheated raw mixed gas passes through a reactor containing a catalyst and reacts; the resultant mixed gas is cooled to 30-50° C. and pressurized to 0.4-1.0 MPa, and then cooled to ambient temperature, and further frozen to ?25-15° C. for liquefaction isolation, and unliquefied gas is recycled and reused; liquefied liquid is sent to a rectifying tower for rectification, and vinyl chloride monomers meeting polymerization requirements are obtained. The present invention has the advantages of eliminating mercury contamination completely, simplifying the reactor structure, recycling hydrogen chloride and acetylene, reducing waterwash process, avoiding mass production of waste acid and improving utilization of chlorine.

  • Patent number: 9371267
    Abstract: A method for preparation of secondary alcohols with a high proportion of hydroxyl group at the C2 position is disclosed. Alkyl carboxylates, high in alpha-methylcarboxylate content, are produced via reaction of an alpha-olefin and a carboxylic acid in the presence of a cerium catalyst. The resultant alkyl carboxylate is hydrolyzed to yield a secondary alcohol with a high 2-hydroxyl content. The secondary alcohol may be used to prepare esters, especially phthalate esters or cyclohexanoate diesters, which are useful as plasticizers. These esters are more effective as plasticizers than esters derived from other secondary alcohols due to their high C2 point of attachment.

  • Patent number: 9371284
    Abstract: The novel positively charged pro-drugs of NSAIAs in the general formulas (1, 2a, 2b, 2c, or 2d) “Structure 1, 2a, 2b, 2c, or 2d” were designed and synthesized. The compounds of the general formulas (1, 2a, 2b, 2c, or 2d) “Structure 1, 2a, 2b, 2c, or 2d” indicated above can be prepared from metal salts, organic base salts, or immobilized base salts of NSAIAs with suitable halide compounds. The positively charged amino groups in the pro-drugs in this invention largely increase the solubility of the drugs in water and will bond to the negative charge on the phosphate head group of membrane. Thus, the local concentration of the outside of the membrane or skin will be very high and will facilitate the passage of these pro-drugs from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. This bonding will disturb the membrane a little bit and may make some room for the lipophilic portion of the pro-drug.
