Abstract:
A process for the preparation of ethylene glycol and other C1-C3 hydroxy compounds comprising the steps of hydrogenating a composition comprising C1-C3 oxygenate compounds in the gas phase in the presence of a copper on carbon catalyst.
Abstract:
A process for large scale and energy efficient product of oxygenates from sugar is disclosed in which a sugar feedstock is introduced into a thermolytic fragmentation reactor comprising a fluidized stream of heat carrying particles. The heat carrying particles may be separated from the fluidized stream prior to cooling the fragmentation product and may be directed to a reheater to reheat the particles and recirculate the heated particles to the fragmentation reactor.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of ethylene glycol comprising the steps of hydrogenating a composition comprising C2-oxygenate compounds in the gas phase in the presence of a catalyst.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of glycolaldehyde by thermolytic fragmentation of a carbohydrate feedstock comprising mono- and/or di-saccharide(s) and a system suitable for performing the process. The process and the system are suitable for industrial application, and the process may be performed in a continuous process.
Abstract:
A method and a system for producing glycolic acid and/or glycolate from sustainable resources. A method for catalytic production of glycolic acid and/or glycolate including the step of: oxidation of a starting material including between 0.1-100 wt/wt % glycolaldehyde at a temperature of between −10° C. and 100° C. with an oxidant in the presence of a metal-based catalyst including a catalytically active metal, which is selected from the group of palladium and platinum; or mixtures thereof.

The process and the system are suitable for industrial application, and the process may be performed in a continuous process. The salt-depleted carbohydrate feedstock may include one or more impurities selected from the group of arsenic, lead, sulfate, sulfur dioxide, and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of lactic acid and 2-hydroxy-3-butenoic acid or esters thereof from a sugar in the presence of a metallo-silicate material, a metal ion and a solvent, wherein the metal ion is selected from one or more of the group consisting of potassium ions, sodium ions, lithium ions, rubidium ions and caesium ions.
