Abstract:
A method of reclaiming alcohols from purification residue includes hydrolyzing a purification residue with an aqueous medium in the presence of (i) an acid and (ii) an oxidizing agent.
Abstract:
A method of reclaiming trimethylolpropane from purification residue includes hydrolyzing a purification residue with an aqueous medium in the presence of (i) an acid and (ii) an oxidizing agent. The method is particularly effective to reclaim trimethylolpropane from monolinear-bis-TMP-formal: monolinear bis-TMP-formal (MBLF or TMP-BMLF); Formula II: [C2H5C(CH2OH)2CH2O]2CH2 (II)

Abstract:
An improved method for deresination of wood chips or pulp is provided. The method comprises contacting the chips or pulp with an ethoxylated alkyl phenol deresinating composition during processing to reduce the level of natural resins present therein. The improvement comprises substituting a sufonated fatty acid for part of the ethoxylated alkyl phenol while maintaining substantially the same level of deresination.
Abstract:
A latex containing particles of a film-forming polymer emulsified or suspended in an aqueous medium and a coalescing solvent comprising trimethylolpropane monocyclic formal (TMPMCF) or trimethylolethane monocyclic formal (TMEMCF) is disclosed.
