摘要:
Methods are provided for refining natural oil feedstocks and partially hydrogenating polyunsaturated olefins and polyunsaturated esters. The methods comprise reacting the feedstock in the presence of a metathesis catalyst under conditions sufficient to form a metathesized product comprising olefins and esters. In certain embodiments, the methods further comprise separating the polyunsaturated olefins from the polyunsaturated esters in the metathesized product. In certain embodiments, the methods further comprise partially hydrogenating the polyunsaturated olefins in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, wherein at least a portion of the polyunsaturated olefins are converted to monounsaturated olefins. In other embodiments, the methods further comprise partially hydrogenating the polyunsaturated esters in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, wherein at least a portion of the polyunsaturated esters are converted to monounsaturated esters.

Various methods are provided for treating and reacting a metathesis feedstock. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a feedstock comprising a natural oil, chemically treating the feedstock with a metal alkoxide under conditions sufficient to diminish catalyst poisons in the feedstock, and, following the treating, combining a metathesis catalyst with the feedstock under conditions sufficient to metathesize the feedstock.
摘要:
Disclosed are petrolatum-like compositions that comprise metathesized unsaturated polyol esters. Also disclosed are emulsions comprising metathesized unsaturated polyol esters. The petrolatum-like compositions may be used as substitutes for petroleum-based petrolatum. The emulsions may be water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions and may be suitable for a variety of end uses.

Methods are provided for producing fuel compositions. The methods comprise reacting a feedstock in the presence of a metathesis catalyst under conditions sufficient to form a metathesized product comprising olefins and esters. The methods further comprise hydrogenating the metathesized product form a fuel composition.
摘要:
Compositions having low quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and uses thereof are generally disclosed. In some embodiments, the compositions are aqueous compositions, such as aqueous suspensions, suitable for use as coating or paint compositions. In some embodiments, the compositions are aqueous compositions that include, among other components, a film-forming polymer and a coalescing aid. In some embodiments, the coalescing aids are derived from a renewable feedstock. Methods and systems for making such compositions are also disclosed. Novel coalescing aids are also disclosed.
摘要:
The oligomerization of certain carboxylic acids and alkyl esters derived from natural oils is disclosed. This includes the oligomerization of C 10-17 unsaturated carboxylic acids such as 9-decenoic acid, where the oligomerization yields a mixture of mono-, di- and tri-carboxylic acids. This also includes the oligomerization of certain alkyl esters, including the oligomerization of C 10-17 unsaturated alkyl esters such as methyl 9-decenoate (9-DAME), where the oligomerization yields a mixture of mono-, di- and tri-carboxylic acid esters. Various end use applications for the oligomerized carboxylic acids and oligomerized alkyl esters are also disclosed.
