PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-molecular-weight and practicable polyester slight in discoloration using a raw material derived from a biomass resource. SOLUTION: The polyester is such that a dicarboxylic acid constituting the main recurring unit of the polyester is derived from a biomass resource, the nitrogen atom content of the dicarboxylic acid is 0.01-2,000 mass ppm based on the dicarboxylic acid. In this polyester, it is preferable that the yellowness index (YI) of the dicarboxylic acid be 10 or less and the dicarboxylic acid be succinic acid. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a practicable polyester having a high-molecular weight and little discoloration by using a raw material by a fermentation process. SOLUTION: The method for producing a polyester comprises polymerizing a dicarboxylic acid and a diol in a reaction mixture containing a dicarboxylic acid and/or a diol as a raw material, wherein the dicarboxylic acid and/or the diol is obtained from a production method including the steps of a fermentation process. The amount of ammonia in the reaction mixture is controlled so that the polyester to be produced has a nitrogen content of 1,000 ppm or less, and has a reduced viscosity of 0.5 or more, as measured in a mixed solvent of tetrachloroethane/phenol (mass ratio of 50/50) at 30°C.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a practicable polyester which has a large molecular weight and shows little coloration using a raw material obtained by a fermentation method. SOLUTION: The polyester is obtained by polymerizing a dicarboxylic acid and a diol in a reaction liquid comprising a dicarboxylic acid raw material and/or a diol raw material obtained by a preparation method comprising processes of a fermentation method. Here, the amount of ammonia in the reaction liquid is controlled so as to prepare the polyester having a nitrogen content of ≤1,000 ppm and a reduced viscosity of ≥0.5 determined at 30°C in a mixed solvent comprising tetrachloroethane and phenol in a mass ratio of 50/50.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel method that permits efficient manufacture at a low cost of a free organic acid having a high melting point from an ammonium salt of the organic acid obtained by microbial conversion of a carbon resource in the presence of a neutralizing agent while recycling and reusing reaction raw materials used or by-products without disposing of them. SOLUTION: An ammonium salt of an organic acid A such as a dicarboxylic acid, a tricarboxylic acid or an amino acid is subjected to reaction crystallization, using an acid B such as a monocarboxylic acid satisfying equation (1) below to separate the free organic acid A as a solid. pKa(A)≤pKa(B) (1) (provided that pKa(A) and pKa(B) are the respective electrolytic dissociation constants of the organic acid A and the acid B and, when they have a plurality of electrolytic dissociation constants, represent the minimum pKa among them).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dicarboxylic acid as a raw material for practicable polyesters of high molecular weight with slight discoloration. SOLUTION: The content of ammonia as one of impurities in a dicarboxylic acid obtained by a fermentation method is a significant cause of the decline in the rate of polymerization for a relevant polyester and the discoloration of related resins. Based on the above fact, a dicarboxylic acid obtained by a production method comprising a fermentation process is subjected to a refining process comprising rinsing with water and/or a crystallization step to bring the ammonia content of the dicarboxylic acid to 4,000 ppm or less.
