Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing hydrogen by using formic acid as a feedstock, which provides a solution to problems to be solved for the production of hydrogen on an industrial scale, such as problems of production cost, storability and transportability, and also offers improved convenience. The method for producing hydrogen of the present invention is  characterized by  heating an ionic liquid containing formic acid. The ionic liquid is preferably an ionic liquid in which a counteranion is a formate anion (i.e., formic acid salt). Such an ionic liquid is, as a medium for the production of hydrogen from formic acid as a feedstock, excellent in terms of reaction selectivity (high-purity hydrogen is produced) and reaction velocity.

Title: Purification de triacylglycérol par procédé en continu sur adsorbant apte à être régénéré
Inventor: MUNSON JAMES R
IPC: C07C69/18
Filed: 2009-10-02
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé économique et écologique, « vert », pour la purification en continu de triacylglycérol (TAG) à l'aide d'un adsorbant en poudre, granulé ou extrudé, qui peut être utilisé soit dans le raffinage chimique soit dans le raffinage physique d'huiles et de matières grasses alimentaires, tous deux étant utilisés traditionnellement pour raffiner du TAG. L'adsorbant est contenu dans un système de colonne, et est régénéré pour être réutilisé de nombreuses fois. Le procédé utilise le système de colonne d'adsorbant en tant que traitement après raffinage chimique ou avant raffinage physique, plutôt que de l'eau ou une filtration, respectivement, pour enlever les savons et autres impuretés entraînés dans un triacylglycérol brut. Dans le procédé de raffinage chimique, le triacylglycérol démucilaginé brut (CDTAG) est d'abord raffiné pour enlever les FFA, ce qui forme un triacylglycérol raffiné une fois (ORTAG), puis il est mis en contact avec un adsorbant garnissant une ou plusieurs colonnes, avant désodorisation. Dans le procédé de raffinage physique, le triacylglycérol démucilaginé brut (CDTAG) est mis en contact avec un adsorbant garnissant une ou plusieurs colonnes, avant l'élimination des FFA et la désodorisation subséquente. Le CDTAG ou ORTAG est mis en contact avec un adsorbant garnissant une colonne, ou de multiples colonnes en série, pendant une durée suffisante pour enlever des impuretés telles que, mais sans que ceci soit limitatif, les savons, les métaux, la chlorophylle et une grande partie des autres composés qui réduisent la stabilité du TAG. Le TAG ainsi obtenu, sortant de la ou des colonnes, est prêt pour le procédé de désodorisation. Une fois que l'adsorbant n'enlève plus la quantité souhaitée d'impuretés, il est régénéré pour être réutilisé. Un tel procédé de raffinage en continu sur adsorbant apte à être régénéré réduit sensiblement la quantité d'eau douce requise et la quantité d'eau résiduaire générée pour purifier du TAG, et réduit la quantité de déchets solides produits. Il en résulte un procédé de raffinage d'huile alimentaire économique et écologique.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently producing an oligomer or a monomer by degrading a biodegradable resin using an enzyme, so that the oligomer or the monomer can be recovered. 
     The present invention provides a method for producing an oligomer and/or a monomer by degrading a biodegradable resin in a degradation liquid containing a biodegradation enzyme, a buffer agent, an organic solvent, and water. In this method, the SP value of the organic solvent is less than 8.5 or more than 11.5, and the percentage content of the organic solvent (by volume) in the degradation liquid is higher than 1% and lower than 15%. In the method for producing an oligomer or a monomer, the degradation percentage of the biodegradable resin is low, and deposits of aggregates of the oligomer and/or the monomer are few, so that the recovery percentage is high.
