“…Biomass pyrolysis oil, i.e., bio‐oil, is an organic mixture that is generally produced by fast pyrolysis of rich lignocellulosic biomass. Bio‐oil, a promising renewable bio‐based feedstock, provides a good option for deriving biochemicals or biofuels , . However, it has been demonstrated that bio‐oil contains hundreds of compounds and that it has a high oxygen content (typically 40–50 wt %) , .…”

A route for directional conversion of bio‐oil into phenol by means of coupling the catalytic cracking of the bio‐oil with the hydroxylation of the bio‐oil‐based benzene‐rich aromatics is proposed. High selectivity for phenol in the resulting organic liquid was achieved, with an almost complete conversion of the bio‐oil. Co‐cracking of the bio‐oil with methanol over a Zn‐modified zeolite significantly enhanced the yields of aromatics and decreased the deactivation of the catalyst during the catalytic cracking of the bio‐oil. The phenol yield depended on the metal oxide catalysts, the temperature, and the reaction time during hydroxylation of the benzene‐rich aromatics. The reaction pathway of converting bio‐oil into phenol was elucidated based on the products identified and the characterization of the catalysts.

“…Upon producing a fuel rich in mono‐ and poly‐cyclic alkanes (C 8−15 ) through this method, Wang et al. carried out full fuel analysis and compared it to jet fuel kerosene . The cycloalkane biofuel was found to have very similar in terms of H/C molar ratio and specific gravity to Jet A‐1, while actually possessing a higher heat of combustion (46.5 vs. 43.3 MJ kg −1 ) and a lower freezing point (<‐70 versus −47 °C) although a flash point was not determined.…”

Interest in developing renewable fuels is continuing to grow and biomass represents a viable source of renewable carbon with which to replace fossil-based components in transportation fuels. During our own work, we noticed that chemists think in terms of functional groups whereas fuel engineers think in terms of physical fuel properties. In this Concept article, we discuss the effect of carbon and oxygen functional groups on potential fuel properties. This serves as a way of informing our own thinking and provides us with a basis with which to design and synthesize molecules from biomass that could provide useful transportation fuels.

“…Nowadays, most of the jet fuel that is commercialized is derived from the refining process of conventional crude oil . Hydrocarbon fuels for aviation can also be produced by biomass gasification, aqueous‐phase catalytic transformation of soluble sugars, Fischer‐Tropsch synthesis, and/or hydrogenation of biodiesels or vegetable oils . In addition, the direct use of biodiesel can power several lightweight aircraft, this fuel also being used when mixed in moderate proportions with kerosene in jet engines …”

Short‐chain esters enriched biofuel obtained from vegetable oil using molecular distillation

Aviation fuels used in gas‐turbine engine powered aircraft are mainly obtained from the distillation of mineral oil. These jet fuel molecules present carbon chain length of C8 to C16 in the same range of fossil kerosene and have high calorific values and a great cold behaviour. With the increase in consumption of jet fuels, it has become extremely important to develop alternative fuels with adequate properties that could be capable of fulfilling the aviation industry requirements. In this context, aviation alternative fuel originated from sustainable raw materials must meet a set of safety requirements and should exhibit similar physicochemical properties to mineral kerosene. In this study the production of a short‐chain esters enriched biofuel using molecular distillation of FAME obtained from babassu oil was evaluated. Operational conditions were assessed to obtain high mass yields and high ester content in the carbon chain length range of kerosene. A fuel with properties close to those of aviation biofuels was obtained at 140 °C. At this temperature, more than 80 % of the esters in the product composition were within the desired range and there was a mass recovery higher than 88 %. In addition, the short‐chain esters enriched biofuel was blended with fossil kerosene at different concentrations and its properties were analyzed in order to study the effects of the gradual addition of this biofuel stream to commercial aviation kerosene. Density, heating value, freezing temperature, and pour point were evaluated. A mixture up to 6.0 % g/g accomplished the specification limits established by ASTM D1655.
