Abstract:
This document describes a process for the high purity and high concentration recovery of monovalent products via continuous ion exchange from aqueous solution for further downstream purification.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an easy settable stretch fabric comprising three types of yarns: a rigid fiber, an elastic fiber, and a low-melt fiber, wherein the low-melt fiber comprises low-melt polymer which can be fused in the temperature between 60 °C to 200 °C, being higher than the temperature used for normal textile process and household laundry, but lower than the temperature used for heat setting elastic fiber. The low-melt fiber can be selected from a group of fibers made from modified polyester, nylon, and polypropylene and the copolymer from them in the form of staple or filament.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to masterbatch compositions used for preparing articles, preforms or containers comprising a base polyester, a transition metal-based oxidation catalyst, an alkali metal compound, and an alkaline earth metal compound. The masterbatch compositions have desirable viscosity characteristics and the prepared articles, preforms or containers using these masterbatch compositions have desirable mechanical, visual and gas barrier properties.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing methacrylate from precursors such as pyruvate via isobutyraldehyde and isobutyryl-CoA, using enzymes such as one or more thioesterases, transferases, or dehydrogenases, as well as recombinant hosts expressing one or more of such enzymes.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods for recovering diphosphonite-containing compounds from mixtures comprising organic mononitriles and organic dinitriles, using liquid-liquid extraction. Also disclosed are treatments to enhance extractability of the diphosphonite-containing compounds.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods, systems, and apparatus for synthesizing a polyamide and including multiple back-ends. The method can be a method of synthesizing a polyamide, including evaporating a mixture comprising an oligomer formed from a linear dicarboxylic acid and a linear diamine sufficient to remove at least some water from the mixture, to provide a pre-finished mixture. The method can include splitting the pre-finished mixture into at least a first pre-finished mixture and a second pre-finished mixture. The method can include finishing the first pre-finished mixture in a first finisher, to provide a first finished mixture comprising a first polyamide. The method can include finishing the second pre-finished mixture in a second finisher, to provide a second finished mixture comprising a second polyamide.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing adipic acid, 6-aminohexanoic acid, 6-hydroxhexanoic acid, hexamethylenediamine, caprolactam, or 1,6-hexanediol by forming one or two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl group, in a C6 aliphatic backbone substrate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on the enzymes or homologs accepting methyl ester shielded dicarboxylic acid substrates.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol by forming one or two terminal functional groups, each comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl group, in a C7 aliphatic backbone substrate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on the C1 elongation enzymes or homolog associated with coenzyme B biosynthesis.

This document describes biochemical pathways for producing pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol by forming two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl group, in a C7 aliphatic backbone substrate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on the carbon chain elongation enzymes or homologs thereof associated with the cyclohexane carboxylate biosynthesis from Syntrophus aciditrophicus or 2-aminoadipate lysine biosynthesis.
