A process for producing products from biomass comprising fermenting biomass to produce a first product stream comprising carboxylic acid salts; acidifying at least one of the first product stream and a second product stream to produce a third product stream comprising acids; extracting such acids from the third product stream with a solvent; separating the extracting solvent from the acids to produce the separated extracting solvent and a fourth product stream comprising acids; and processing the fourth product stream to produce a fifth product stream.

A continuous process is described for the one-pot synthesis of compounds, such as metal salts and metal complexes, as well as optionally for the protection of the compounds thus obtained by coating and/or impregnation with suitable compounds.

This disclosure relates to neo-acids and processes for making neo-acids from a vinylidene olefin.

A method of producing acetic acid, the method comprising: reacting methanol and/or methanol derivatives with carbon monoxide in the presence of a liquid reaction medium under carbonylation conditions to form a carbonylation product comprising acetic acid and one or more oxidizable impurities; and contacting at least a portion of the carbonylation product or a derivative thereof with an adsorbent at adsorption conditions to provide a purified product comprising a reduced concentration of at least one of the one or more oxidizable impurities relative to a concentration thereof in the at least a portion of the carbonylation product or the derivative thereof. A system for carrying out the method is also provided.

Process for Pd-catalyzed hydroxycarbonylation of diisobutene:ligand/Pd ratio.

Process for Pd-catalyzed hydroxycarbonylation of diisobutene:acetic acid/diisobutene ratio.

Various embodiments include an electrolysis method comprising: applying a pulsed voltage or a pulsed current between an anode and a cathode; repeatedly measuring a respective current OCP at the cathode in a zero-current state relative to a reference system; and controlling the pulsed voltage or the pulsed current so a working potential of the cathode in the current-carrying state with respect to the reference system has a defined progression relative to the respective current OCP. The defined progression includes a first phase at a cathodic level and a second phase at an anodic level.
