==Polyethylene terephthalate==
 +
[[Image:PET.jpg|thumb|center|350px]]
 +
*Polyethylene terephthalate'''( (C'''<sub>'''10'''</sub>'''H'''<sub>'''8'''</sub>'''O'''<sub>'''4'''</sub>''')'''<sub>'''n'''</sub>''')''' (sometimes written poly(ethylene terephthalate)), is also abbreviated as  PET, PETE, or PETP or PET-P)
 +
*Some of the trade names of PET products are Dacron, Diolen, Tergal, Terylene, and Trevira fibers,  Cleartuf, Eastman PET and Polyclear bottle resins, Hostaphan, Melinex, and Mylar films, and Arnite, Ertalyte, Impet, Rynite and Valox injection molding resins.<br>
 +
*The materials that can be prepared using PET are bottles, tapes, films or pulled into fibers that are pressed into meshes or woven into fabrics.
 +
===Preparation of Polyethyleneterephthalate===
 +
* Polyethyleneterephthalate is prepared by reacting Dimethylterephthalate with Ethylene glycol in the presence of a catalyst. Dimethylterephthalate is obtained by treating Terephthalic acid with methanol. The catalyst is a salt of a metal like calcium, barium, cadmium, cobalt, lead, manganese, tin, zinc and chromium and a material selected from the group consisting of hydroxybenzophenone carboxylic acids and hydroxyacetophenone carboxylic acids. [[Media:polyethyleneterephthalate1.pdf|Source]]<br>
 +
'''(Terephthalic acid) + 2CH<sub>3</sub>OH →  (Dimethylterephthalate)'''
  
* Automobiles are a source of considerable pollution at the global level, including a significant fraction of the total greenhouse gas emissions.
+
'''(Dimethylterephthalate) + CH<sub>2</sub>(OH)CH<sub>2</sub>(OH) + Catalyst → (Polyethyleneterephthalate)'''
* On July 22, 2002 California Governor Gray Davis signed into law AB 1493 (commonly known as the "Pavley law") — precedent-setting legislation to reduce global warming pollution from motor vehicles.
+
* This bill directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to develop and adopt regulations that achieve the maximum feasible and cost-effective reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from passenger cars and light trucks sold in California.
+
  
== New Developments ==
+
==Ethylene glycol==
 +
[[Image:Ethylene glycol.jpg|thumb|center|250px|Ethylene glycol]]
 +
*Ethylene glycol'''(C'''<sub>'''2'''</sub>'''H'''<sub>'''4'''</sub>'''(OH)'''<sub>'''2'''</sub>''')''', (monoethylene glycol (MEG), 1,2-ethanediol, IUPAC name: ethane-1,2- diol,)
 +
*Ethylene glycol is an odorless, colorless, syrupy, sweet tasting, toxic liquid.
 +
*It is used as a heat transfer chemical i.e., as a coolant. Due to its low freezing point it is used as a deicing fluid for windshields and aircraft.
 +
*Ethylene glycol is widely used to inhibit the formation of natural gas clathrates in long multiphase pipelines. Then ethylene glycol can be recovered from the natural gas and reused as an inhibitor after purification treatment that removes water and inorganic salts.
 +
*Ethylene glycol has become increasingly important in the plastics industry for the manufacture of polyester fibers and resins, including polyethylene terephthalate, which is used to make plastic bottles for soft drinks. The antifreeze capabilities of ethylene glycol have made it an important component of vitrification mixtures for low-temperature preservation of biological tissues and organs.
 +
*Ethylene glycol may also be used as a protecting group for carbonyl groups in organic synthesis.       
 +
*Ethylene glycol's high boiling point and affinity for water makes it an ideal desiccant for natural gas production.

The new millennium is bringing a millennial change to the family car. A few years back, the key concerns were:
+
===Preparation of Ethylene Glycol===
* Pollution,
+
* Nagging worries about global warming, and
+
* Oil shortages.
+
These concerns led to the development of Electric Vehicle (EV’s) powered by batteries. But current battery technology does not provide EV's with a range that is acceptable to consumers.
+
  
'''Limitations of EV’s''':
+
Ethylene glycol is prepared in the following ways:
* An average commute to work is around 40 miles.
+
* EV's have a range of 80-100 miles using advanced battery technology.
+
* While batteries need frequent recharging, they are not the only way to power an electric car.
+
  
== Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) ==
+
'''1.''' From ethylene: Ethylene is oxidized to ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide upon hydrolysis ethylene glycol is prepared.
The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is just the first step in reducing the environmental impacts of automobile use without losing comfort, performance, storage room and extended driving range.  
+
  
'''Advantages of HEV’s''':
+
'''7 H<sub>2</sub>C=CH<sub>2</sub> <nowiki>+</nowiki> 6 O<sub>2</sub> → 6 C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>O <nowiki>+</nowiki> 2 CO<sub>2</sub> <nowiki>+</nowiki> 2 H<sub>2</sub>O'''
* The HEV contains parts of both gasoline and electric vehicles in an attempt to get the best of both worlds.
+
* It is able to operate nearly twice as efficiently as traditional internal combustion vehicles.
+
* It has equivalent power, range, cost and safety of a conventional vehicle while reducing fuel costs and harmful emissions.
+
* The battery is continuously recharged by a motor/generator driven by the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) or by regenerative braking.
+
  
== Components of the HEV Battery System ==
+
'''C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>O <nowiki>+</nowiki> H<sub>2</sub>O → HOCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>OH'''
The battery in an HEV is the energy storage device for the electric motor. Unlike the gasoline in the fuel tank, which can only power the gasoline engine, the electric motor in a hybrid car can put energy into the battery as well as draw energy from it.
+
  
* '''Battery''': Two or more electrochemical energy cells connected together to provide electrical energy.
+
'''2.''' Ethylene glycol is prepared by reacting formaldehyde with methanol in the presence of organic peroxide(ditertiarybutylperoxide) [http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=4337371.PN.&OS=PN/4134926&RS=PN/4134926 Source]
* '''Generator''': The generator is similar to an electric motor, but it acts only to produce electrical power.
+
* '''Electric motor''': Advanced electronics allow it to act as a motor as well as a generator. For example, when it needs to, it can draw energy from the batteries to accelerate the car. But acting as a generator, it can slow the car down and return energy to the batteries.  
+
* '''SOC''': The State of Charge of a battery is its available capacity expressed as a percentage of its rated capacity
+

== HEV battery system design parameters ==
+
'''Note:''' In the above two preparation methods for ethylene glycol we have used ethylene, methanol, formaldehyde. The following are their preparations:
  
Factors affecting battery performance:
+
'''Ethylene preparation''':
* Temperature: Battery performance is highly dependent on temperature. Each type of battery works best within a limited range of temperatures.
+
* Battery age/Shelf life: Corrosion is the main culprit behind decreased performance in lead acid type batteries with age.
+
* Depth of discharge: Batteries are able to maintain their performance longer when they are not deeply discharged regularly.
+
  
Design parameters:
+
1. Ethylene is prepared biologically from methionine by using enzymes.[http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6294716.PN.&OS=PN/4134926&RS=PN/4134926 Source]
* How much space is available for the batteries?
+
[[Image:Ethylene biosynthesis.jpg|thumb|center|450px|Ethylene biosynthesis]]<br>
* How much can they weigh?
+
* What is the desired range?
+
* What is the weight of the vehicle?
+
* What is the targeted vehicle cost?
+
* How will the batteries be recharged and
+
* What kind of drive system requirements is needed?
+
  
These questions are necessary because of the variety of battery types available and the differences between them. The chart below lists the characteristics of the most common types of batteries. (Source [http://www.atti-info.org/technology/ev_tech.html])
+
2. Ethanol upon dehydrating in the presence of catalyst ethylene is prepared.[http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=4134926.PN.&OS=PN/4134926&RS=PN/4134926 Source]

== Comparison of top 3 batteries used in HEVs ==
+
'''Methanol preparation''': Biological process
During recharging, it is important to maintain the balance of battery. The balance of battery is maintained by controlling battery from overcharging and over discharging.
+
  
The battery is controlled by defining State of Charge (SOC) of the battery:
+
Methanol is prepared through fermentation process. Vegetable materials are fermented anerobically in the presence of ''Zymomonas mobilis'' bacteria. In this process ethanol and methanol are the products. Methanol is separated from ethanol by distillation. [http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5070016.PN.&OS=PN/4134926&RS=PN/4134926 Source]
* Upper limit value – overcharge and
+
* Lower limit value – over discharge
+
  
When overcharge is detected, power generation is controlled/cut-off and when over discharge is detected, power supply to electric motor is stopped. Detection is achieved by appropriate sensors.
+
'''Formaldehyde preparation''':
  
'''''This report investigates various procedures available/adopted by various assignees in order to maintain balanced battery pack by avoiding overcharge and/or over discharge.
+
1. Formaldehyde is prepared enzymatically. In this process the lower alkyl alcohols are converted into lower aldehydes by using oxidase enzymes.

'''''
+
  
{| class="wikitable" width="80%" style="font-size:90%" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"

== HEV battery system concerns ==
+
'''Ethanol preparation''':
The ultimate goal of HEV can only be achieved with the balance battery pack since the main source of energy is batteries and recharging is carried out on board.
+
  
'''Advantages of balance battery pack''':
+
Ethanol is prepared by fermentation process.
* Balancing of battery SOC’s increases battery life
+
* Automated balancing circuitry will decrease overcharging (and gassing) and decrease manual maintenance.
+
  
This, in turn, provides:
+
[[Image:Ethanol2.jpg|thumb|center|450px|Ethanol - fermentation]]
* Equivalent power range at low cost as conventional vehicle while reducing fuel costs and harmful emissions.
+
* Twice the travel distance of a conventional vehicle on the same amount of energy.
+
  
== Goal ==

Latest revision as of 05:52, 27 July 2015

PET (Polyethyeleneterephthalate) is used in a variety of applications, especially in the making of durable bottles. There is a significant increase in interest of late in producing PET from renewable sources.

This report describes the various techniques being used in the production of PET from sources such as cellulose. The report covers:

  1. Various pathways for production of PET from renewable sources
  2. All the catalysts (e.g. Hydrogen, Sodium, etc.) and techniques (e.g. catalytic dehydration) used in production of each of the intermediate compounds (e.g. ethylene glycol)
  3. Search strategies for patents for the various pathways and methods for production of ethylene glycol and dimethyl terephthalate, which are then used to produce PET
  4. Classification and in-depth analysis of the patents
  5. Presentation of results of the patent analysis on the Dolcera dashboard

Pathways for production of Polyethyeleneterephthalate

Pathways for preparation of PET

Polyethylene terephthalate

PET.jpg
  • Polyethylene terephthalate( (C10H8O4)n) (sometimes written poly(ethylene terephthalate)), is also abbreviated as PET, PETE, or PETP or PET-P)
  • Some of the trade names of PET products are Dacron, Diolen, Tergal, Terylene, and Trevira fibers, Cleartuf, Eastman PET and Polyclear bottle resins, Hostaphan, Melinex, and Mylar films, and Arnite, Ertalyte, Impet, Rynite and Valox injection molding resins.
  • The materials that can be prepared using PET are bottles, tapes, films or pulled into fibers that are pressed into meshes or woven into fabrics.

Preparation of Polyethyleneterephthalate

  • Polyethyleneterephthalate is prepared by reacting Dimethylterephthalate with Ethylene glycol in the presence of a catalyst. Dimethylterephthalate is obtained by treating Terephthalic acid with methanol. The catalyst is a salt of a metal like calcium, barium, cadmium, cobalt, lead, manganese, tin, zinc and chromium and a material selected from the group consisting of hydroxybenzophenone carboxylic acids and hydroxyacetophenone carboxylic acids. Source

(Terephthalic acid) + 2CH3OH → (Dimethylterephthalate)

(Dimethylterephthalate) + CH2(OH)CH2(OH) + Catalyst → (Polyethyleneterephthalate)

Ethylene glycol

Ethylene glycol
  • Ethylene glycol(C2H4(OH)2), (monoethylene glycol (MEG), 1,2-ethanediol, IUPAC name: ethane-1,2- diol,)
  • Ethylene glycol is an odorless, colorless, syrupy, sweet tasting, toxic liquid.
  • It is used as a heat transfer chemical i.e., as a coolant. Due to its low freezing point it is used as a deicing fluid for windshields and aircraft.
  • Ethylene glycol is widely used to inhibit the formation of natural gas clathrates in long multiphase pipelines. Then ethylene glycol can be recovered from the natural gas and reused as an inhibitor after purification treatment that removes water and inorganic salts.
  • Ethylene glycol has become increasingly important in the plastics industry for the manufacture of polyester fibers and resins, including polyethylene terephthalate, which is used to make plastic bottles for soft drinks. The antifreeze capabilities of ethylene glycol have made it an important component of vitrification mixtures for low-temperature preservation of biological tissues and organs.
  • Ethylene glycol may also be used as a protecting group for carbonyl groups in organic synthesis.
  • Ethylene glycol's high boiling point and affinity for water makes it an ideal desiccant for natural gas production.

Preparation of Ethylene Glycol

Ethylene glycol is prepared in the following ways:

1. From ethylene: Ethylene is oxidized to ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide upon hydrolysis ethylene glycol is prepared.

7 H2C=CH2 + 6 O2 → 6 C2H4O + 2 CO2 + 2 H2O

C2H4O + H2O → HOCH2CH2OH

2. Ethylene glycol is prepared by reacting formaldehyde with methanol in the presence of organic peroxide(ditertiarybutylperoxide) Source

CH3OH + HCHO + (CH3)3OOC(CH3)3→ CH2(OH)CH2(OH)

Note: In the above two preparation methods for ethylene glycol we have used ethylene, methanol, formaldehyde. The following are their preparations:

Ethylene preparation:

1. Ethylene is prepared biologically from methionine by using enzymes.Source

Ethylene biosynthesis

2. Ethanol upon dehydrating in the presence of catalyst ethylene is prepared.Source

C2H5OH + Al2O3(Catalyst) → H2C=CH2 + H2O

Methanol preparation: Biological process

Methanol is prepared through fermentation process. Vegetable materials are fermented anerobically in the presence of Zymomonas mobilis bacteria. In this process ethanol and methanol are the products. Methanol is separated from ethanol by distillation. Source

Formaldehyde preparation:

1. Formaldehyde is prepared enzymatically. In this process the lower alkyl alcohols are converted into lower aldehydes by using oxidase enzymes. Source

2. Formaldehyde is prepared by dehydrogenation of methanol using a catalyst. The catalyst is silver or silver/gold alloy on an inert hard, nonporous support. Source

CH3OH + Ag (or Ag/Au alloy)(Catalyst) → HCHO + H2

Ethanol preparation:

Ethanol is prepared by fermentation process.

Ethanol - fermentation
Ethanol through Fermentation

Terephthalic acid

Terephthalic acid
  • Terephthalic acid(C6H4(CO2H)2) is a colourless solid, used principally as a precursor to the polyester PET, used to make clothing and plastic bottles. Several billion kilograms are produced annually. It is one of three isomeric phthalic acids.
  • Virtually the entire world's supply of terephthalic acid and dimethyl terephthalate are consumed as precursors to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) Source

Preparation of Terephthalic acid

  • Biological preparation of Terephthalic acid Source
Biological preparation of Terephthalic Acid

Preparation of p-Xylene:

p-Xylene is prepared from toluene in the presence of a catalyst. This is a methylation reaction. The methylating agents are methanol, methyl chloride, methyl bromide, dimethylether or dimethylsulfide. The catalyst used is ZSM-23 zeolite material. Here this catalyst is used for attacking the methyl group in the para position of the toluene. Source

Toluene + Methylating agent + ZSM-23 Zeolite(Catalyst)→ P-xylene

Preparation of Toluene:
1. Toluene is an aromatic extract from the tropical colombian tree Myroxylon Balsamum Source
2. Toluene is prepared from wastes like old trees, cable wastes, polyethylene waster and polypropylene wastes. In this process the waste products are pulverised and heated to a temperature range of 150˚C to 500˚C at a pressure of 20 to 300 bar Source

Note-Today most of the ethylene manufacturers are producing ethylene through petroleum cracking.

Search Strategy

  • Database - Micropat
  • We conducted search on concepts that have a biological method of preparation only.
  • We have not conducted search on production of ethanol (from which we prepare ethylene) since that is not the focus of this project.

  • NOTE: Explanation of Query Concepts
  • Query 1 - All Biological Process
  • Query 2 - Ethanol Fermentation
  • Final Query - Query 1 + Query 2
