Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to preparation of renewable polymers, specifically to polymers obtained from renewable isobutene monomer.
- the invention also relates to selective separation of isobutene from an olefin mixture, and the oligomerization of the purified isobutene.
- Isobutene (also referred to as isobutylene or 2-methylpropene) is a hydrocarbon of significant industrial importance. Isobutene is used as an intermediate in the production of a variety of products. For example, it is reacted with methanol and ethanol in the manufacture of the gasoline oxygenates methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), respectively. Alkylation with butane produces isooctane, another fuel additive. Isobutene is also used in the production of methacrolein. Antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) are produced by Friedel-Crafts alkylation of phenols using isobutylene.
- BHT butylated hydroxytoluene
- BHA butylated hydroxyanisole

- butyl rubber is industrially produced utilizing isobutene derived from petrochemical source(s).
- Isobutene used in industrial applications typically is prepared as a by-product of conventional industrial dehydration processes such as, thermal cracking process in petroleum, refining the purification of which is a multistep energy intensive process.
- the amount of isobutene produced varies depending on the composition of the petrochemical feedstock and the type of cracking used in the process.
- the stream is typically characterized by a high butadiene content and low amount of butene. After separating the butadiene, the remainder of the stream contains less than 50% isobutene.
- the volatility of oil prices has made petro-based feedstock of isobutene unreliable while the cracking of lighter crude has seen the overall percentage of isobutene in the C4 stream drop dramatically.
- petrochemically derived isobutene is obtained from complex hydrocarbon mixtures, it is usually necessary to carry out a further extensive (and expensive) purification prior to polymerization. Multistep processes for purification are energy and resource intensive.

- the separation yields isobutene with residual linear butenes and trace amounts of butadiene.
- Linear butenes and 1,3-butadiene are known to act as potent poisons/chain transfer agents in the cationic polymerizations of butyl rubber.

- a biobased material has a 14 C/ 12 C isotope ratio greater than 0.
- a fossil-based material has a 14 C/ 12 C isotope ratio of about 0.
- a small amount of the carbon atoms of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the radioactive isotope 14 C, which is created when atmospheric nitrogen is struck by a cosmic ray generated neutron, causing the nitrogen to lose a proton and form carbon of atomic mass 14 ( 14 C), which is then immediately oxidized to carbon dioxide.

The catalyst used was collected from 1.0 mm sieve. The isobutanol was vaporized to gas in a preheater at 325 °C prior to entering a stainless steel tubular reactor (3/8" ID, 16" length) packed with the BASF A13996R supported by glass beads. The temperature of the reactor was 325 °C. Gas and liquid products were separated using a knock-out pot.
- the separated gaseous butenes were condensed in a 500 ml Schlenk flask, containing 30g of Type 3A molecular sieves, immersed in an ethanol/liq.N2 bath.
- the gaseous butenes were analyzed using GC/MS ( Figure 3).
- the gas composition of the gas product from the dehydration process was 95 % isobutene, 1 % 1-butene, 2 % c *-2-butene, 1 % irara-2-butene and 1 % others.
- the conversion of the butanol to butenes tubes was measured using a soap film flowmeter. At 325 °C, the conversion rate was greater than 98 %.
- the gaseous butenes mixture from the dehydration process collected by condensing the gas to a liquid in a 500 mL Schlenk flask containing 30 grams of 3 A molecular sieve, was allowed to dry over the 3 A molecular sieves (Aldrich) for about 24 hours at room temperature. Prior to the drying of the butenes, the molecular sieve was activated by heating the molecular sieve at a temperature of 120 °C in a vacuum oven for about 24 hours prior to use.
- the flask containing the condensed dried butene mixture was attached to a 500 mL Schlenk flask containing 40g of Type 5A molecular sieve adsorbent (UOP), which was previously dried for 24 hrs at 120°C in a vacuum oven.
- UOP Type 5A molecular sieve adsorbent
- the Schlenk flask containing 5 A molecular sieve adsorbent was cooled by immersing it into a Dewar containing liquid nitrogen.
- the Schlenk flask containing the butenes was kept warm by using a water bath (approximately 30°C) and opened.
- the butenes were transferred to the 5A molecular sieve Schlenk flask immersed in a liquid nitrogen bath where they immediately condensed to the solid state.
- Example 2 The experimental procedure of Example 1 was repeated using a petroleum based isobutene supplied by LANXESS Inc. in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The cationic polymerization of renewable isobutene with isoprene to produce butyl rubber was successfully demonstrated.
- the butyl rubber polymers were characterized by ⁇ NMR and GPC (Table 2). The biobased content was verified using the methodology described in ASTM D6866-08.
- the molecular weight M w of the biobased butyl rubber is comparable to the control sample.
