Abstract

Methods of converting polyvinyl butyral (PVB) to its raw constituents (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and butyraldehyde) via hydrolysis. The methods facilitate hydrolyzing a PVB feed composition, which may be derived from recycle content material, into its raw constituents. The regenerated PVOH, PVB with a higher residual PVOH content, and/or butyraldehyde recovered from this process may then be used to produce purified and/or regenerated PVB.

Abstract

Processes and facilities for producing a recycled content organic chemical compounds directly or indirectly from waste plastic. Processing schemes are described herein for converting waste plastic (or hydrocarbon having recycled content derived from waste plastic) into useful intermediate chemicals and final products. The processing schemes may comprise a process for reforming a recycled content pyrolysis oil (r-pyoil) stream to produce a reformate comprising recycled content aromatics (r-aromatics). In some aspects, the r-aromatics can be processed to provide recycled content paraxylene (r-paraxylene), which can then be used to provide recycled content terephthalic acid (r-TPA) and/or recycled content polyethylene terephthalate (r- PET).

Abstract

Processes and facilities for producing a recycled content hydrocarbon product directly or indirectly from waste plastic. Processing schemes are described herein for converting waste plastic (or hydrocarbon having recycled content derived from waste plastic) to recycle content alkanes by feeding a recycled-content pyrolysis gas stream to an unsaturated gas plant of a refinery complex and recovering recycled-content alkanes streams from the unsaturated gas plant. The recycle-content alkanes can be subjected to alkylation and/or catalytic olefin oligomerization process and/or fed to a steam cracking facility and processed therein to produce a recycled-content pyrolysis gasoline stream, which in turn is fed to and processed within an aromatics complex to produce a recycled-content p-xylene product stream.

Abstract

Provided is a process for preparing bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diol starting from cyclohexane-1,4-dione. The diene is reacted with certain trialkylsilyl halides or trimethylsilyl trifluormethanesulfonate in the presence of a non-nucleophilic base to afford a silyl-substituted diene, which is in turn reacted with ethylene and subsequently reduced to provide the title compound.

METHOD OF RECYCLING POLY(VINYL BUTYRAL) FROM MULTILAYER POLY(VINYL BUTYRAL) SHEETS

Abstract

A process is disclosed for recovering soft poly(vinyl butyral) from a plasticized poly(vinyl butyral) multilayer sheet comprising stiff poly(vinyl butyral) and soft poly(vinyl butyral). The multilayer sheet, which may be scrap or recycled material, is first converted to a granulate form and then treated with plasticizer. This plasticizer treatment serves to remove the soft poly(vinyl butyral) component from the granulate, but thereby provides a varnish comprising the soft poly(vinyl butyral) mixed with excess plasticizer. This varnish is however highly viscous and thus difficult to handle or mechanically process. The present disclosure provides a solution to this handling problem by the addition of soft poly(vinyl butyral) having a lower concentration of plasticizer to the varnish, until a product is obtained having a sufficiently low concentration of plasticizer to render the product capable of mechanical processing, for example pelletizing. The resulting product can then be utilized to form soft poly(vinyl butyral) sheets, thereby improving the recyclability of scrap multilayer poly(vinyl butyral) materials.

Abstract

A dichloromethane-free wet spinning process for producing cellulose triacetate fiber with a silk factor greater than 8.0. A dichloromethane-free cellulose triacetate dope comprising dimethylacetamide is wet spun into a coagulation bath which is controlled to a temperature ranging from 20°C to 40°C and comprising dimethylacetamide and water. A jet draw stretching ratio ranging from 0.3 to 1.4 is applied to the wet spun CTA fibers which may also be subjected to one or more post jet draw stretching steps. During drying, the CTA fibers are partially or completely shrunk. This process enables CTA fiber(s) having a silk factor greater than 8.0 to be produced without using dichloromethane and without the energy costs associated with other processes that requiring lower or higher coagulation bath temperatures.
