The present invention is directed to a process for the synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) comprising the steps of: (1) oxidising an aqueous solution of 5 hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in the presence of molecular oxygen, of a heterogeneous catalyst comprising ruthenium and of a strong base at a temperature above 100° C., obtaining a reaction product in aqueous solution comprising a salt of FDCA acid; (2) separating said heterogeneous catalyst from said reaction product in aqueous solution, and (3) re-using said heterogeneous catalyst in the oxidation reaction in step (1).

This invention relates to a new polyester which is particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of mass-produced articles characterised by excellent mechanical properties, in particular high tensile strength and tensile modulus, associated with a high barrier property against oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Polyester and compositions containing it

The invention relates to a process for the production of 1,4-butanediol comprising the preparation of a fermentation broth comprising 1,4-butanediol from renewable sources and water, separation of a liquid fraction comprising said 1,4-butanediol and water from one or more solid fractions, said liquid fraction comprising 2-pyrrolidone in an amount higher than 80 ppm, one or more passages of the resulting liquid fraction through a bed comprising one or more cation-exchange resins thereby providing an output pH of said liquid fraction from 4 to 2, one or more passages of the resulting liquid fraction through a bed comprising one or more anion-exchange resins thereby providing an output pH of said liquid fraction from 8 to 11, and the distillation of the liquid fraction thereby provided so as to obtain a composition having a concentration of said 1,4-butanediol higher than 99.0% by weight and comprising 2-pyrrolidone in an amount lower than 6 ppm. The resulting composition should exhibit an APHA color value after ageing of less than 30.
