Provided are methods to destabilize emulsion feedstocks. In the methods, a moderate temperature is applied to the feedstock to create a first mixture. The moderate temperature may be between 120 and 220 degrees Celsius. The first mixture is mixed at the moderate temperature, such as by staged mixing in some embodiments. Moreover, the first mixture is retained at the moderate temperature for up to six hours. The first mixture is separated into an oil phase, convoluted phase, and a water phase. In some embodiments, the moderate temperature may be 125 to 150 degrees Celsius, such as between 125 and 130 degrees Celsius. Moreover, the first mixture may be retained at the moderate temperature for between forty-five minutes and four hours, such as from two to four hours. The separation may occur at the moderate temperature.

The present disclosure provides a method of preparing a catalyst for synthesizing dimethyl ether or methylacetate from synthetic gas that includes preparing a nanosheet ferrierite zeolite (FER), and co-precipitating the nanosheet ferrierite zeolite and a precursor of a Cu—Zn—Al-based oxide (CZA) to obtain a hybrid CZA/FER catalyst.

A method of depolymerizing a polyester in a waste material is disclosed. The method comprises: supplying the waste material comprising the polyester to a depolymerization vessel; depolymerizing the polyester to form a depolymerized mixture comprising a regenerated diol, a regenerated diacid, and a catalyst; isolating the regenerated diacid and the catalyst from the regenerated diol to form a regenerated composition including the regenerated acid and the catalyst; and separating the regenerated composition from the regenerated diol. In addition, a regenerated composition formed from depolymerization of a waste material is disclosed wherein the regenerated composition comprises a regenerated diacid and a catalyst and wherein the catalyst is present in an amount of from 5 ppm to 300 ppm.

The present invention relates to a method of producing bio-based homoserine lactone and bio-based organic acid through hydrolysis of O-acyl homoserine produced by a microorganism in the presence of an acid catalyst. According to the present invention, O-acyl homoserine produced by a microorganism is used as a raw material for producing 1,4-butanediol, gamma-butyrolactone, tetrahydrofuran and the like, which are industrially highly useful. The O-acyl homoserine produced by a microorganism can substitute conventional petrochemical products, can solve environmental concerns, including the emission of pollutants and the exhaustion of natural resources, and can be continuously renewable so as not to exhaust natural resources.
