METHODS OF PRODUCING JET FUEL FROM NATURAL OIL FEEDSTOCKS THROUGH METATHESIS REACTIONS

摘要

Methods are provided for producing a jet fuel composition from a feedstock comprising a natural oil. The methods comprise reacting the feedstock with a low-weight olefin in the presence of a metathesis catalyst under conditions sufficient to form a metathesized product. The methods further comprise hydrogenating the metathesized product under conditions sufficient to form a jet fuel composition.
