Production of High-Quality Diesel from Biomass Waste Products

Production of High-Quality Diesel from Biomass Waste Products

High‐quality liquid fuels are obtained from non‐edible carbohydrates by energy‐efficient processes. 2‐Methylfuran, produced by hydrogenation of furfural, is converted into 6‐alkyl undecanes in a catalytic solvent‐free process (see scheme with 6‐butylundecane). A diesel fuel is produced with an excel...

Zusammenfassung:High‐quality liquid fuels are obtained from non‐edible carbohydrates by energy‐efficient processes. 2‐Methylfuran, produced by hydrogenation of furfural, is converted into 6‐alkyl undecanes in a catalytic solvent‐free process (see scheme with 6‐butylundecane). A diesel fuel is produced with an excellent motor cetane number (71) and pour point (−90 °C) and with global process conversions and selectivities close to 90 %.
