Problems solved by technology

[0005] We have identified problems with the use of 1,4-butanediol derived from microbial fermentation (where the removal of impurities is insufficient) as a feedstock for the production of polyesters, which are: Compared with the case of butanediol, the polymerization time is greatly prolonged, and the by-product THF is produced

Abstract

A process produces 1,4-butanediol by purifying 1,4-butanediol originated from a fermentation broth, by which process 1,4-butanediol having properties suited as a material of producing a polyester is obtained, which 1,4-butanediol enables to reduce by-production of tetrahydrofuran during the esterification reaction and to reduce the delay in polymerization. The process of producing 1,4-butanediol includes adding an alkaline substance other than an ammonia or an amine to an aqueous 1,4-butanediol-containing solution originated from a fermentation broth; distilling the resulting mixture; and recovering a 1,4-butanediol-containing solution from the vapor flow.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a process for the production of 1,4-butanediol derived from fermentation broth, which is suitable for use as a raw material for polyesters. Background technique [0002] Polyesters obtained by polycondensation reactions between diols and dicarboxylic acids are widely used in various applications such as fibers, films, and bottles due to their excellent properties. 1,4-Butanediol (hereinafter referred to as "1,4-BDO") is used as a polybutylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as "PBT") by polymerization with terephthalic acid It is used as a raw material for the production of polybutylene succinate (hereinafter also referred to as "PBS") by polymerization with succinic acid. Due to PBT's excellent moldability, heat resistance, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance, polyester is widely used not only as a material for molding electronic parts and automotive parts, but also as a fiber with soft texture and ...
