Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the production of crude and glacial acrylic acid from bio-based acrylic acid produced from hydroxypropionic acid, hydroxypropionic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to the purification of bio-based acrylic acid to crude and glacial acrylic acid using some or all of the extraction, drying, distillation, and melt crystallization processes.
  • the produced crude and glacial acrylic acid contains hydroxypropionic acid, hydroxypropionic acid derivatives, or mixtures thereof as an impurity.
  • Acrylic acid or acrylate has a variety of industrial uses, typically consumed in the form of polymers.
  • these polymers are commonly used in the manufacture of, among other things, adhesives, binders, coatings, paints, polishes, detergents, flocculants, dispersants, thixotropic agents, sequestrants, and superabsorbent polymers, which are used in disposable absorbent articles including diapers and hygienic products, for example.
  • Acrylic acid is commonly made from petroleum sources. For example, acrylic acid has long been prepared by catalytic oxidation of propylene. These and other methods of making acrylic acid from petroleum sources are described in the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Vol. 1, pgs.
  • Petroleum-based acrylic acid contributes to greenhouse emissions due to its high petroleum derived carbon content. Furthermore, petroleum is a non-renewable material, as it takes hundreds of thousands of years to form naturally and only a short time to consume. As petrochemical resources become increasingly scarce, more expensive, and subject to regulations for CO 2 emissions, there exists a growing need for bio-based acrylic acid or acrylate that can serve as an alternative to petroleum-based acrylic acid or acrylate.

  • Glacial acrylic acid has a typical overall purity level ranging from 98% to 99.7% and is used to make polyacrylic acid for superabsorbent polymer (SAP; in disposable diapers, training pants, adult incontinence undergarments, etc.), paper and water treatment, and detergent co-builder applications.
  • SAP superabsorbent polymer
  • the levels of the impurities need to be as low as possible in glacial acrylic acid to allow for a high-degree of polymerization to acrylic acid polymers (PAA) and avoid adverse effects of side products in applications.
  • PAA acrylic acid polymers
  • aldehydes hinder the polymerization and also lead to discoloration of the polymerized acrylic acid
  • maleic anhydride forms undesirable copolymers which have a detriment to the polymer properties
  • carboxylic acids, that do not participate in the polymerization might affect the final odor of PAA or SAP or provide adverse effects in the use of the products, e.g. skin irritation when the SAP contains formic acid, or odor when the SAP contains acetic acid or propionic acid.

  • ASTM D6866 method allows the determination of the bio-based content of materials using radiocarbon analysis by accelerator mass spectrometry, liquid scintillation counting, and isotope mass spectrometry.
  • the application of ASTM D6866 to derive a “bio-based content” is built on the same concepts as radiocarbon dating, but without use of the age equations.

  • the modern reference standard used in radiocarbon dating is a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standard with a known radiocarbon content equivalent approximately to the year AD 1950.

  • compounds derived entirely from renewable resources have at least about 95 percent modern carbon (pMC), and may have at least about 99 pMC, including about 100 pMC.
  • a bio-based content result is derived by assigning 100% equal to 107.5 pMC and 0% equal to 0 pMC. In this regard, a sample measuring 99 pMC will give an equivalent bio-based content result of 93%.
  • acrylic acid contains three carbon atoms in its structural unit. If acrylic acid is derived from a renewable resource, then it theoretically has a bio-based content of 100%, because all of the carbon atoms are derived from a renewable resource.
