“…Solid acids such as zeolites (H-ZSM-5) and resins (Amberlyst-15) [152] are commonly used as catalysts. A molar excess of methanol is necessary to facilitate isobutene conversion and hinder the dimerization and oligomerization of isobutene.…”

Next-generation biofuels, such as cellulosic bioethanol, biomethane from waste, synthetic biofuels obtained via gasification of biomass, biohydrogen, and others, are currently at the center of the attention of technologists and policy makers in search of the more sustainable biofuel of tomorrow. To set realistic targets for future biofuel options, it is important to assess their sustainability according to technical, economical, and environmental measures. With this aim, the review presents a comprehensive overview of the chemistry basis and of the technology related aspects of next generation biofuel production, as well as it addresses related economic issues and environmental implications. Opportunities and limits are discussed in terms of technical applicability of existing and emerging technology options to bio-waste feedstock, and further development forecasts are made based on the existing social-economic and market situation, feedstock potentials, and other global aspects. As the latter ones are concerned, the emphasis is placed on the opportunities and challenges of developing countries in adoption of this new industry.

“…Ahmed et al [9] developed MFI-type zeolites which were synthesized by the rapid crystallization method for production of MTBE. Collignon et al [10] evaluated several acid zeolites, including H-Beta (ZB25, ZB75, ZBF, ZBSC), US-Y (CBV760) and ion-exchange resin (Amberlyst 15) for the liquid phase synthesis of MTBE. From all of the works, it was found that all zeolites appear to be as active as Amberlyst 15 but the zeolite catalysts produce less by-products and are more thermally stable than the resin catalyst.…”

“…Catalysts used are solid acids, zeolites (H-ZSM-5), and macroporous sulfonic acid ionexchange resins such as Amberlyst-15 (Collignon et al 1999). A molar excess of methanol is used to increase isobutene conversion and inhibit the dimerization and oligomerization of isobutene.…”

Preliminary screening: Technical and economic assessment of synthesis gas to fuels and chemicals with emphasis on the potential for biomass-derived syngas

Executive Summary/ConclusionsIn principle, syngas (primarily consisting of CO and H 2 ) can be produced from any hydrocarbon feedstock, including: natural gas, naphtha, residual oil, petroleum coke, coal, and biomass. The lowest cost routes for syngas production, however, are based on natural gas, the cheapest option being remote or stranded reserves. Economic considerations dictate that the current production of liquid fuels from syngas translates into the use of natural gas as the hydrocarbon source. Nevertheless, the syngas production operation in a gas-to-liquids plant amounts to greater than half of the capital cost of the plant. The choice of technology for syngas production also depends on the scale of the synthesis operation. Syngas production from solid fuels can require an even greater capital investment with the addition of feedstock handling and more complex syngas purification operations. The greatest impact on improving the economics of gasto liquids plants is through 1) decreasing capital costs associated with syngas production and 2) improving the thermal efficiency with better heat integration and utilization. Improved thermal efficiency can be obtained by combining the gas-to-liquids plant with a power generation plant to take advantage of the availability of low-pressure steam.
