LIQUID FUEL COMPOSITIONS BASED ON CATALYTICALLY DEOXYGENATED AND CONDENSATED OXYGENATED CARBONHYDRATES.

摘要

The present invention provides a liquid fuel composition comprising a distillation fraction of a component having at least one C4+ compound derived from a water-soluble oxygenated hydrocarbon prepared by a method comprising: providing water and a water-soluble oxygenated hydrocarbon comprising a C1+O1+ hydrocarbon in an aqueous liquid phase and/or a vapor phase; providing H2; catalytically reacting in the liquid and/or vapor phase the oxygenated hydrocarbon with the H2 in the presence of a deoxygenation catalyst at a deoxygenation temperature and deoxygenation pressure to produce an oxygenate comprising a C1+O1-3 hydrocarbon in a reaction stream; and catalytically reacting in the liquid and/or vapor phase the oxygenate in the presence of a condensation catalyst at a condensation temperature and condensation pressure to produce the C4+ compound, wherein the C4+ compound comprises a member selected from the group consisting of C4+ alcohol, C4+ ketone, C4+ alkane, C4+ alkene, C5+ cycloalkane, C5+ cycloalkene, aryl, fused aryl, and a mixture thereof; wherein the liquid fuel composition is selected from: a gasoline composition having an initial boiling point in the range of from 15 °C to 70 °C (IP123), a final boiling point of at most 230 °C (IP123), a RON in the range of from 85 to 110 (ASTM D2699) and a MON in the range of from 75 to 100 (ASTM D2700); a diesel fuel composition having an initial boiling point in the range of from 130 °C to 230 °C (IP123), a final boiling point of at most 410 °C (IP123) and a cetane number in the range of from 35 to 120 (ASTM D613); and a kerosene composition having an initial boiling point in the range of from 80 to 150 °C, a final boiling point in the range of from 200 to 320 °C and a viscosity at -20° C in the range of from 0.8 to 10 mm²/s (ASTM D445).
