Method For Alcohol Upgrading To Jet, Diesel, Gasoline, And Valuable Co-Products

View page
US Patent:
20210130257, May 6, 2021
Filed:
Oct 29, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/083437
Inventors:
- Oak Ridge TN, US
Zhenglong Li - Knoxville TN, US
International Classification:
C07C 1/24
F23K 5/08
C07C 2/08
C07C 5/03
Abstract:
A method for converting an alcohol to a jet-diesel hydrocarbon fraction, comprising contacting the alcohol with a pillared two-dimensional zeolite catalyst at a temperature of at least 200 C. and up to 500 C. to convert the alcohol to hydrocarbons comprising: (a) a first mixed olefin fraction containing a mixture of C-Colefins; (b) a first paraffin fraction containing C-Cparaffins; and (c) a gasoline fraction containing C hydrocarbons; and the conversion of the alcohol is energy neutral or exothermic. The first mixed olefin fraction may be subjected to an oligomerization process to result in a second paraffin fraction containing C-Cparaffins along with a C partially unsaturated fraction, and the first and second paraffin fractions combined into a total C-Cparaffin fraction, which can in turn be subjected to a dehydrogenation or aromatization process with hydrogen gas as byproduct, and the hydrogen gas recycled for use in producing the jet-diesel fraction.

Zeolitic Catalytic Conversion Of Alcohols To Olefins

US Patent:
20200048170, Feb 13, 2020
Filed:
Aug 2, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/530397
Inventors:
- Oak Ridge TN, US
Zhenglong Li - Knoxville TN, US
International Classification:
B01J 29/06
Abstract:
A catalyst composition for converting an alcohol to olefins, the catalyst composition comprising the following components: (a) beta zeolite; (b) at least one element selected from the group consisting of zinc, magnesium, calcium, strontium, sodium, and potassium; and (c) at least one element selected from the group consisting of hafnium, yttrium, zirconium, tantalum, niobium, and tin; wherein the components (b) and (c) are independently within or on a surface of said beta zeolite. The catalyst may also further include component (d), which is copper or silver. Also described herein is a method for converting an alcohol to one or more olefinic compounds, the method comprising contacting the alcohol with a catalyst at a temperature of at least 100 C. and up to 500 C. to result in the alcohol being converted to the one or more olefinic compounds.

Abstract:
A method for producing one or more hydrocarbon compounds from at least one of 2,3-butanediol, acetoin, and ethanol, the method comprising contacting said at least one of 2,3-butanediol, acetoin, and ethanol with a catalyst at a temperature of at least 100 C. and up to 500 C. to result in said 2,3-butanediol, acetoin, and/or ethanol being converted to said one or more hydrocarbon compounds, wherein said catalyst is either: (i) a catalyst comprising nanoparticles composed of (a) a first metal oxide selected from the group consisting of zirconium oxide, cerium oxide, titanium oxide, and lanthanum oxide, and (b) a main group metal oxide; or (ii) a catalyst comprising a zeolite loaded with at least one metal selected from the group consisting of copper, silver, nickel, palladium, platinum, rhodium, and ruthenium in an amount of 1-30 wt % by weight of the zeolite.

Filed:
Jun 9, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/178046
Inventors:
- Oak Ridge TN, US
Brian H. Davison - Knoxville TN, US
Zhenglong Li - Knoxville TN, US
International Classification:
C07C 1/20
C07C 2/12
C10L 1/06

C10L 1/04
Abstract:
A method for converting an alcohol to a hydrocarbon fraction reduced in gaseous hydrocarbon content, the method comprising: (i) contacting said alcohol with a metal-loaded zeolite catalyst under conditions suitable for converting said alcohol to a first hydrocarbon fraction containing liquid hydrocarbons having at least five carbon atoms along with gaseous hydrocarbons having less than five carbon atoms, wherein said metal-loaded zeolite catalyst is catalytically active for converting said alcohol to said first hydrocarbon fraction; and (ii) selectively removing said gaseous hydrocarbons from the first hydrocarbon fraction and contacting said gaseous hydrocarbons with a metal-loaded zeolite catalyst under conditions suitable for converting said gaseous hydrocarbons into liquid hydrocarbons having at least five carbon atoms to produce a second hydrocarbon fraction reduced in gaseous hydrocarbon content, wherein the metal-loaded zeolite catalyst in steps (i) and (ii) are the same or different.

Electrocatalytic Hydrogenation And Hydrodeoxygenation Of Oxygenated And Unsaturated Organic Compounds

View page
US Patent:
20150008139, Jan 8, 2015
Filed:
Mar 5, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/383048
Inventors:
- East Lansing MI, US
Zhenglong Li - Lansing MI, US
Dennis J. Miller - Okemos MI, US
James E. Jackson - Haslett MI, US
International Classification:
C25B 3/00
C25B 11/12
C07C 29/132
C25B 11/04
C07D 307/44
C07C 29/20
US Classification:
205455, 205462, 204284
Abstract:
A process and related electrode composition are disclosed for the electrocatalytic hydrogenation and/or hydrodeoxygenation of biomass-derived bio-oil components by the production of hydrogen atoms on a catalyst surface followed by the reaction of the hydrogen atoms with the organic compounds in bio-oil. The catalyst is a metal supported on a monolithic high surface area material such as activated carbon cloth. Electrocatalytic hydrogenation and/or hydrodeoxygenation stabilizes the bio-oil under mild conditions to reduce coke formation and catalyst deactivation. The process converts oxygen-containing functionalities and unsaturated bonds into chemically reduced forms with an increased hydrogen content. The process is operated at mild conditions, which enables it to be a good means for stabilizing bio-oil to a form that can be stored and transported using metal containers and pipes.
