Reduction dehydratation of bioalcohols – perspective way for receiving engine fuel.
Abstract
The reaction of reduction dehydratation of aliphatic alcohols into the hydrocarbons is the perspective approach for receiving liquid fuel. It opens ways to the industrial method of one-study receiving linear and cyclic alkanes, being high-energy components of aviation fuel, from bioalcohols (ethanol, butanols, pentanols). It has been found that combinated systems based on hydrides of intermetallic compounds are sufficiently effective catalysts and lead to the formation mixture of hydrocarbons with considerable content of isoalkanes. It has been appeared synergetic effect in formation of alkanes in the presence of two-component composition consisting of hydride intermetallic compound and alumoplatinum catalyst.
