Abstract:
Polyphase biodegradable compositions having a good resistance to ageing comprising a continuous phase comprising at least one hydrophobic polyester and at least one dispersed phase of polymer of vegetable origin. The hydrophobic polyester constituting the continuous phase is incompatible with the polymer of vegetable origin. The compositions comprise a plasticiser comprising at least 75% of a mixture of diglycerol, triglycerol and tetraglycerol.
Abstract:
Provided is a continuous process for the oxidative cleavage of derivatives of unsaturated carboxylic acids for the production of saturated carboxylic acids and their derivatives which comprises the steps of: a) feeding to a first reactor at least a derivative of an unsaturated carboxylic acid, an oxidizing compound and a catalyst capable of catalyzing the oxidation reaction of the olefinic double bond to obtain an intermediate compound containing vicinal diols, and of b) feeding to a second reactor said intermediate compound, a compound containing oxygen and a catalyst capable of catalyzing the oxidation reaction of the vicinal diols to carboxylic groups, to obtain saturated monocarboxylic acids (i) and derivatives of saturated carboxylic acids with more than one acid function (ii); c) separating the saturated monocarboxylic acids (i) from the derivatives of carboxylic acids having more than one acid function (ii).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for obtaining highly pure aliphatic dialkyl esters of saturated dicarboxylic acids from vegetable oils, which can advantageously be used in polymerization. The process comprises the steps of reacting with an aliphatic alcohol a triglycerides mixture containing at least one triglyceride of at least one saturated dicarboxylic acid in the presence of one or more catalysts capable of catalyzing the esterification and transesterification reactions, and separating the dialkyl esters of saturated dicarboxylic acids from the reaction mixture thus obtained.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process to prepare complex oligomeric structures obtained from vegetable oils. The process allows to use a mixture of triglycerides containing dicarboxylic acids produced by the oxidative cleavage of vegetable oils as a starting material, these oils being subjected to a step of heating (condensation) followed by a step of esterification with alcohols at temperatures up to 250° C.

Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for the selective hydrogenation of vegetable oils. In particular the invention relates to a process for the hydrogenation of vegetable oils which is capable of selectively converting polyunsaturated fatty acids into mono-unsaturated fatty acids and products obtained therefrom. The vegetable oils obtained from the process according to the invention have in particular a high mono-unsaturated fatty acids content and are particularly suitable for use as raw materials for the synthesis of chemical intermediates.
