- - 1- INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHYLENE-BUTYLENE COPOLYMER AN ETHYLENE-BUTYLENE COPOLYMER AND THE USE OF ETHYLENE AND 1-BUTYLENE AS COMONOMER SOURCED FROM RENEWABLE NATURAL RAW MATERIALS

摘要

The present invention relates to an integrated process for making ethylene-butylene copolymers from one or more regenerated natural raw materials. Particularly, the present invention relates to a process for producing an ethylene copolymer, wherein the ethylene monomer and the comonomer used in the polymerization are obtained by 1-butylene as an ethanol dehydration reaction in which ethanol is produced by fermentation of a saccharide, Butylenes can be obtained by reacting 1,3-butanediol obtained from ethanol via a chemical route in which (i) dehydration reaction of 1-butanol directly produced by fermentation of saccharides, (ii) chemical route in which ethanol is produced by fermentation of saccharides, Dehydration reaction of butanol; And / or (iii) dimerization reaction of ethylene produced by isomerization of the 2-butylene isomers formed after the dehydration of ethanol obtained from the fermentation of the saccharides. / RTI The ethylene-butylene copolymer prepared as described above is based on carbon atoms entirely derived from regenerated natural raw materials and produces CO ₂ from non-fossil sources upon incineration.
