| 20100221802 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING BUTANOL USING TWO-PHASE EXTRACTIVE FERMENTATION - A method of making butanol from at least one fermentable carbon source that overcomes the issues of toxicity resulting in an increase in the effective titer, the effective rate, and the effective yield of butanol production by fermentation utilizing a recombinant microbial host wherein the butanol is extracted into specific organic extractants during fermentation | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100261851 | Recoverable polymer-bound homogeneous catalysts for catalytic chain transfer process - Disclosed herein are novel polymer-tethered ligands, metal complexes comprising these ligands, and the use of these complexes as chain transfer catalysts to control the molecular weight of oligomeric and polymeric materials produced in a radical polymerization process. The materials made by the processes disclosed herein have significantly reduced color, making them suitable for a wide range of color-critical end-uses, including automotive coatings. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110059252 | TWO COMPONENT COATING COMPOSITIONS AND COATINGS PRODUCED THEREFROM - The present invention is directed to two component coating compositions that cure under ambient conditions and more particularly to those having low VOC (volatile organic content) that are suitable for use in automotive refinish and Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) applications. The coating composition includes crosslinkable and crosslinking components, wherein the crosslinkable component includes a low polydispersity, low molecular weight copolymer having on an average 2 to 25 functional groups, such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, acetoacetoxy, primary and secondary amine, and epoxy. The copolymer is polymerized from a monomer mixture that includes one or more non-functional acrylate monomers and one or more functional methacrylate monomers provided with the functional groups. The crosslinking component includes polyisocyanate, polyamine, ketimine, melamine, epoxy, polyacid or a combination thereof. The invention is also directed to coating produced from the coating composition. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110097773 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING BUTANOL USING EXTRACTIVE FERMENTATION - A method for producing butanol through microbial fermentation, in which the butanol product is removed by extraction into a water-immiscible extractant composition comprising a first solvent and a second solvent, is provided. The first solvent is selected from the group consisting of C | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110136193 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING BUTANOL USING EXTRACTIVE FERMENTATION WITH OSMOLYTE ADDITION - A method is provided for producing butanol through microbial fermentation, in which the butanol product is removed during the fermentation by extraction into a water-immiscible organic extractant in the presence of at least one osmolyte at a concentration at least sufficient to increase the butanol partition coefficient relative to that in the presence of the osmolyte concentration of the basal fermentation medium and of an optional fermentable carbon source. The osmolyte may comprise a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, glycerol, sugarcane juice, molasses, polyethylene glycol, dextran, high fructose corn syrup, corn mash, starch, cellulose, and combinations thereof. Also provided is a method and composition for recovering butanol from a fermentation medium. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110159558 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING BUTANOL USING EXTRACTIVE FERMENTATION WITH ELECTROLYTE ADDITION - A method for producing butanol through microbial fermentation, in which the butanol product is removed during the fermentation by extraction into a water-immiscible organic extractant in the presence of at least one electrolyte at a concentration at least sufficient to increase the butanol partition coefficient relative to that in the presence of the salt concentration of the basal fermentation medium, is provided. The electrolyte may comprise a salt which dissociates in the fermentation medium, or in the aqueous phase of a biphasic fermentation medium, to form free ions. Also provided is a method and composition for recovering butanol from a fermentation medium. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110288344 | RECOVERY OF BUTANOL FROM A MIXTURE OF BUTANOL, WATER, AND AN ORGANIC EXTRACTANT - A process for recovering butanol from a mixture comprising a water-immiscible organic extractant, water, butanol, and optionally a non-condensable gas, is provided. The butanol is selected from 1-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutanol, and mixtures thereof. An overhead stream from a first distillation column is condensed to recover a mixed condensate. An entrainer is added to at least one appropriate process stream or vessel such that the mixed condensate comprises sufficient entrainer to provide phase separation of the organic and the aqueous phases to provide for recovery of the butanol. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110288345 | RECOVERY OF BUTANOL FROM A MIXTURE OF BUTANOL, WATER, AND AN ORGANIC EXTRACTANT - A process for recovering butanol from a mixture comprising a water-immiscible organic extractant, water, butanol, and optionally a non-condensable gas, is provided. The butanol is selected from 1-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutanol, and mixtures thereof. The extractant comprises at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of C | 11-24-2011 |
