RECYCLE CONTENT POLY(VINYL ACETAL)
A poly(vinyl acetal) composition, such as a poly(vinyl butyral) composition or resin, can be made containing recycle content by the use of a recycle content aldehyde composition as a feedstock to make the PVA or by application of a recycle allotment, such as an allocation or credit, applied to either the aldehyde composition or to the PVA composition. The recycle content is obtained by cracking a recycle content pyrolysis oil to make a variety of olefins, such as propylene or ethylene.
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING COMPOUNDS, INCLUDING TRIPTANE BY AN ALCOHOL COUPLING REACTION
The present invention relates to a method for the production of molecules with seven carbons constituted by a chain of four carbons with three methyl branches, primarily triptane (2,2,3-trimethylbutane), by alcohol coupling reaction (Guerbet reaction), resulting in an alcohol with a four-carbon chain with three methyl branches, which is transformed into triptane. The importance of this method stems from the fact that triptane is the hydrocarbon with the greatest capacity to resist compression without ignition and can be used in unleaded aviation gasolines and in the formulation of high-octane automotive gasolines.

Electrocatalytic hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation of oxygenated and unsaturated organic compounds
A process and related electrode composition are disclosed for the electrocatalytic hydrogenation and/or hydrodeoxygenation of biomass-derived bio-oil components by the production of hydrogen atoms on a catalyst surface followed by the reaction of the hydrogen atoms with the organic compounds in bio-oil. The catalyst is a metal supported on a monolithic high surface area material such as activated carbon cloth. Electrocatalytic hydrogenation and/or hydrodeoxygenation stabilizes the bio-oil under mild conditions to reduce coke formation and catalyst deactivation. The process converts oxygen-containing functionalities and unsaturated bonds into chemically reduced forms with an increased hydrogen content. The process is operated at mild conditions, which enables it to be a good means for stabilizing bio-oil to a form that can be stored and transported using metal containers and pipes.
