Provided herein, in some embodiments, are methods and composition for the production of nucleoside triphosphates and ribonucleic acids.

Methods and compositions for nucleoside triphosphate and ribonucleic acid production

Plasticizers are purified by contact with a coalescing filter to effect removal of ions, metals, monohydric alcohols, and polyhydric alcohols. The resulting purified plasticizer compositions are suitable for use in PVC due to their low levels of impurities that reduce PVC utility.

Purification of plasticizers

A process is described for making acrylic acid from dextrose, which comprises fermenting dextrose; removing solids from the resulting fermentation broth; removing lactic acid from the clarified broth by extraction into an organic solvent; separating out the lactic acid-loaded organic solvent while recycling at least a portion of the remainder back to the fermentation step; reacting the lactic acid with ammonia to provide a dehydration feed comprising ammonium lactate while preferably recycling the organic solvent; carrying out a vapor phase dehydration of the ammonium lactate to produce a crude acrylic acid product; and purifying the crude acrylic acid by distillation followed by melt crystallization, chromatography or both melt crystallization and chromatography.

Process for making acrylic acid from dextrose

A process is provided for chromatographically separating propionic acid from acrylic acid. By means of the inventive process, a reduced propionic acid content acrylic acid product is enabled having a propionic acid content comparable to acrylic acid products from the conventional two stage oxidation of propylene, but wherein the acrylic acid has been produced with a higher propionic acid content by alternative methods.
