Abstract:
A process for preparing sebacic acid by reacting in a first step (i) linoleic acid with water catalyzed by an oleate hydratase to form10- hydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid, in a second step (ii) pyrolysing the 10-hydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid to 1-octene and 10-oxo-decanoic acid and in a third step(iii) oxidizing the 10-oxo-decanoic acid to sebacic acid.
Abstract:
Described is a method for processing cellulose-containing biomass with sulfuric acid and certain additives, especially for the pretreatment of cellulose-containing biomass prior to saccharification.
Abstract:
A process for preparing solutions which comprise 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and have reduced content of starting materials from the HMF synthesis or a reduced content of by-products of the HMF synthesis (called product solution hereinafter), characterized in that solutions comprising HMF starting materials or by-products of the HMF synthesis and an organic solvent having at least two ether groups (polyether for short) (called starting solution hereinafter) are treated with steam in an evaporator.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for coating a sheet-like cellulose containing material by applying a composition comprising at least one glucan (G), which has a β(beta)-1,3-glycosidically linked main chain and at least one side group having a βφβί8)- 1,6-glycosidic bond to the main chain, particularly Schizophyllan, and at least one solvent (S), particularly a ionic liquid, on the surface of the sheet-like material.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to porous metallic frameworks comprising at least one at least bidentate organic compound coordinated to at least one metal ion, wherein the at least one at least bidentate organic compound is derived from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid or 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid. The present invention further relates to shaped bodies comprising these frameworks, processes for producing them and their use, in particular for the storage and separation of gases.
