Starch Based Reactor, Resultant Products, and Methods and Processes Relating Thereto

摘要

A process for making a starch-based resin from a starch-based plant feed stock generally comprising the steps of extracting starch content from prepared feed stock, preparing a dried starch from the extracted starch content that may be polymerized in a reactor with a catalytic material, a petroleum-based plastic resin, a quantity of glycerol, and an oil which is high in free hydrogen, and partially cross-linking the polymerized starch with a petroleum-based plastic resin to form a starch-based resin that may be used to produce starch-based film and bag products and other articles of manufacture that have unique degradation properties is disclosed herein.

1: The process of making a starch-based resin from a starch-based plant feed stock, comprising:
growing, harvesting, and peeling the starch-based plant feed stock; grinding, washing, and extracting the starch content from the peeled feed stock; drying the starch content by substantially removing the water content from the starch content to form a dried starch; polymerizing the dried starch in a reactor; further polymerizing the dried starch in a reactor with a catalytic material, a petroleum-based plastic resin, a quantity of glycerol, and an oil which is high in free hydrogen, and; partially cross-linking the polymerized dried starch with the petroleum-based plastic resin to form the starch-based resin.
