Abstract:

A method of removing a fermentation inhibitor from an aqueous mixture of hydrolysis products from cellulosic biomass is disclosed. The method includes providing an aqueous mixture of hydrolysis products from cellulosic biomass, the hydrolysis products comprising at least one of pentose or hexose sugars and a fermentation inhibitor that inhibits a microorganism otherwise capable of fermenting pentose or hexose sugars; and at least partially extracting the fermentation inhibitor from the aqueous mixture with a first extractant by a first liquid-liquid extraction through a first porous membrane to provide a first extract and a raffmate, the first extractant having a water solubility of less than one percent by weight. In some embodiments, the aqueous mixture contains an insufficient amount of the microorganism to ferment the aqueous mixture. In some embodiments, the aqueous mixture is a fermentation broth. A membrane solvent extraction system for carrying out the method is also disclosed.

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a polymeric material including a polymerized reaction product of a polymerizable composition including components and has a solids content of 90% or greater. The components include a uretdione-containing material including a reaction product of a diisocyanate reacted with itself; a first hydroxyl-containing compound; an optional second hydroxyl-containing compound having a single OH group, wherein; and an epoxy component. The first hydroxyl-containing compound has more than one OH group and the optional second hydroxyl-containing compound is a primary alcohol or a secondary alcohol. The present disclosure also provides a two-part composition, in which the polymeric material is included in the first part and the second part includes at least one amine. Further, a method of adhering two substrates is provided, including obtaining a two-part composition; combining at least a portion of the first part with at least a portion of the second part to form a mixture; disposing at least a portion of the mixture on a first substrate; and contacting a second substrate with the mixture disposed on the first substrate. The disclosure also provides a polymeric material and a method of making a two-part composition. Advantageously, two-part compositions according to the present disclosure can be used as coatings and adhesive systems with handling and performance similar to existing two-part urethane systems, but with less sensitivity to water.
