Embodiment 1

[0192] Example 1: Preparation of a C5-enriched liquid sugar stream

[0193] Wheat straw feedstock was used as a starting lignocellulosic feedstock to obtain a C5-rich liquid sugar stream for the production of the various diols disclosed.

[0194] The raw material was subjected to a pre-soaking step for 30 minutes in water at a temperature of 130° C. at a liquid-to-solid ratio of 5:1.

[0195] The pre-soaked lignocellulosic feedstock was subjected to a soaking step at a temperature of 155° C. for 65 minutes, and the soaked feedstock was separated by a press to produce a soaking liquid and a soaked solids stream containing the soaked biomass. The soaked solids stream was subjected to steam explosion at a temperature of 190° C. for 4 minutes to produce a steam exploded stream. Liquid is separated from the steam exploded stream by a press and added to the infusion.

[0196] The infusion was subjected to a solids separation step by means of centrifugation and straining (bag filte...

[0204] Example 2: Conversion of C5-enriched sugar streams to polyol mixtures

[0205] A C5-rich liquid sugar stream is converted to a polyol mixture according to a two-step catalytic reaction, both in the presence of hydrogen.

[0206] The C5-rich liquid sugar stream was put into a hydrogenation reactor and brought into contact with a hydrogenation catalyst (2% Ru / C catalyst, Johnson Matthey extruded type 642) and hydrogen at a pressure of 80 bar and a reaction temperature of 110°C .

[0207] The hydrogenation reaction was carried out in continuous mode, wherein a C5-rich liquid sugar stream was continuously introduced into the hydrogenation reactor at a flow rate of 6 l / h, and the hydrogenation mixture was continuously removed from the reactor. Liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) is about 1.3h -1 , and set the hydrogen flow rate to correspond to 3 mol / mol of H 2 / total sugar ratio value.

[0208] The compositions of the C5-enriched liquid sugar stream and the hydrogenat...

Embodiment 3

[0218] Example 3 - Removal of Water and Heavy Polyols

[0219] The polyol mixture was placed into a 40 liter glass jacketed turbine agitated vacuum batch flash system. The polyol mixture (90% water content) was gradually heated to 55° C. at a pressure of 64 mbar. Under these conditions, fractions were collected (water content 99.7%). Subsequently, the liquid temperature was gradually heated to 66°C and another fraction (99.5% water content) was withdrawn when a decrease in condensate flow was observed until distillate flow became negligible. The water content of the residue at the bottom was reduced to 11.3%, and the composition of the residue on a dry basis was essentially that reported in Table 2.

[0220] The dehydrated polyol mixture is subjected to an evaporation step to separate a mixture comprising low boiling polyols from a mixture comprising high boiling polyols.

[0221] The dehydrated polyol mixture was gradually heated to 120° C. at a pressure of 1 mbar. Under ...

Abstract

The present specification discloses a composition comprising a plurality of diols which is useful for the production of polyester bottles, wherein the diols are mainly obtained from the conversion of a ligno-cellulosic biomass feedstock stream. The composition comprises ethylene glycol and at least one diol selected from the group of diols having a formula of CnHz(OH)2, wherein n is the total number of carbons and is an integer in the range from 3 to 20, z is an integer in the range from 0 to 2n, and C1 and C2 are each attached to one of the OH groups of the formula (e.g. 1,2-Propylene glycol, 1,2-Butanediol and 1,2-Pentanediol) and wherein the composition is substantially free of diols which absorb light at a wavelength of 275nm, so that the percent light transmission of the composition at a wavelength of 275nm is greater than 40%.

Description

Background technique [0001] Ethylene glycol is an organic polyol having a structure designated by the IUPAC name 1,2-dihydroxyethane, Ethylene glycol is used in many industrial processes; in particular, Ethylene glycol is an important Virgin materials, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), are widely used in the manufacture of products including, but not limited to, resins, preforms (preforms), and packaging. The term "PET" refers to polyethylene terephthalate, copolyesters thereof, and combinations thereof in any form, including PET flakes, pellets, and recycled PET. The term "packaging" refers to, but is not limited to, PET packaging used for packaging food products, soft drinks (non-alcoholic beverages), alcoholic beverages, detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products and edible oils, such as PET containers (which covers bottles) and PET secondary packaging, which is commonly used to organize and protect PET containers for shipping, display and storage, and for adve...
