Abstract:
High purity levoglucosan is obtained from pyrolysis oil derived from cellulose by: mixing pyrolysis oil with water and a basic metal hydroxide, oxide, or salt in amount sufficient to elevate pH values to a range of from about 12 to about 12.5, and adding an amount of the hydroxide, oxide, or salt in excess of the amount needed to obtain the pH range until colored materials of impurities from the oil are removed and a slurry is formed; drying the slurry azeotropically with methyl isobutyl ketone solvent to form a residue, and further drying the residue by evaporation; reducing the residue into a powder; continuously extracting the powder residue with ethyl acetate to provide a levoglucosan-rich extract; and concentrating the extract by removing ethyl acetate to provide crystalline levoglucosan. Preferably, Ca(OH).sub.2 is added to adjust the pH to the elevated values, and then Ca(OH).sub.2 is added in an excess amount needed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a powder coating composition for low temperature cure which comprises a mixture of a carboxylic acid group containing first polyester; at least one of a second polyester having a glass transition temperature ≦45° C. and/or a crystalline polycarboxylic acid; a glycidyl group containing acrylic copolymer; a further compound and/or resin having functional groups readable with the carboxylic acid groups; and a thermosetting curing catalyst. These thermosetting powder coatings are designed for coating heat-sensitive substrates such as wood, fiber board and other materials which can not withstand the excessive heat/time conditions necessary to cure traditional coatings. The powder coatings of the invention, when cured at temperatures below 150° C., produce a finish which exhibits a high gloss, smooth surface along with an outstanding hardness and weatherability.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to polyesters that can be prepared from renewable resources and/or recycled materials and the production process thereof. In particular, hydroxyl-functional or carboxyl-functional polyesters containing moieties of terephthalic acid and/or isophthalic acid, ethylene glycol, a dianhydrohexitol, and of one or more linear chain dicarboxylic acids are provided. Further, the polyesters have a number average molecular weight, as measured by gel permeation chromatography, of from 400 to 15000 daltons, more preferably from 550 to 15000 daltons. The polyesters of the invention can basically be prepared from recycled polyethylene terephthalate and from renewable polyacids and/or polyols. The present invention further provides a process to produce such polyesters via glycolysis of a polyethylene terepthalate and/or a polyethylene isophthalate with a dianhydrohexitol.
