“…Furthermore, high thermal efficiency leads to faster burning rate and better knock suppression ability. Current octane boosters used in gasoline are mostly fossil based (e. g. MTBE, ETBE, TAEE, TAME) . The use of these components in gasoline has caused concerns as their water solubility is relatively high and they address risk to human health .…”

Liquid Phase Furfural Hydrotreatment to 2-Methylfuran on Carbon Supported Nickel Catalyst - Effect of Process Conditions

2016

Hydrogenation of furfural is a possible route to produce potential renewable fuel component 2-methylfuran (MF) on carbon supported nickel catalyst. This study investigates the effect of process conditions on liquid phase hydrotreatment of furfural to 2-methylfuran over 10 wt-% Ni/C catalyst. The most important parameters tested were temperature, hydrogen pressure and metal loading of the catalyst. In addition, the effect of hydrogen addition method, atmosphere in heating, calcination gas, and stirring speed were tested to analyze optimal reaction procedure. As a result, the highest yield of MF achieved was 48.9 % applying 230 8C, 40 bar hydrogen pressure, and 10 wt-% Ni/C. This high yield of 2-methylfuran is higher than typically reported yields and thus the studied catalyst and reaction conditions offer excellent potential for MF production.

“…However, in contrast to the above-mentioned advantages, there are several constraints that limit the successful application of RD, such as complex design, difficult scale-up and advanced process control (Schoenmakers and Bessling, 2003;Sundmacher and Hoffmann, 1996). Nevertheless, RD has been industrially applied for certain types of chemical-equilibrium limited reactions, the most important being esterifications (Agreda et al, 1990;Keller et al, 2011b;Schmitt et al, 2004), transesterifications (Steinigeweg et al, 2004) and etherifications (González-Rugerio et al, 2012;Sundmacher and Hoffmann, 1996).…”

Reactive distillation (RD) has already demonstrated its potential to significantly increase reactant conversion and the purity of the target product. Our work focuses on the application of RD to reaction systems that feature more than one main reaction. In such multiple-reaction systems, the application of RD would enhance not only the reactant conversion but also the selectivity of the target product. The potential of RD to improve the product selectivity of multiple-reaction systems has not yet been fully exploited because of a shortage of available comprehensive experimental and theoretical studies. In the present article, we want to theoretically identify the full potential of RD technology in multiple-reaction systems by performing a detailed optimisation study. An evolutionary algorithm was applied and the obtained results were compared with those of a conventional stirred tank reactor to quantify the potential of RD to improve the target product selectivity of multiple-reaction systems. The consecutive transesterification of dimethyl carbonate with ethanol to form ethyl methyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate was used as a case study.

“…Ethanol produced from biomass is a perspective renewable energy source. Currently, there are many potential reactions to produce valuable chemical products from ethanol (Sun and Wang, 2014), such as steam reforming to hydrogen (Haryanto et al, 2005;Rass-Hansen et al, 2007), dehydration to ethylene (Bedia et al, 2011;Bi et al 2010;Zhang and Yu, 2013), conversion to butadiene (Angelici et al, 2015;Baylon et al, 2016), oxidation to acetaldehyde (Enjamuri et al, 2016), and synthesis of alkyl tert-butyl ethers (Aiouache and Goto, 2003;Gonza´lez-Rugerio et al, 2012;Umar et al, 2008Umar et al, , 2009Vlasenko et al, 2009).…”

Ethanol adsorption on sulfonic resins of different morphological types, such as gel, macroporous sulfonic resin, mixed sample (1:1 mixture of gel-type sulfonic resin with aerosil) and sulfonic resin loaded on wide-porous mineral carrier was studied using the methods of quasi-equilibrium thermal desorption and quartz crystal microbalance. It has been observed that the faster ethanol adsorption proceeds on the macroporous sulfonic resin and the slower ethanol adsorption on the gel-type one. It is due to different swelling ability. It was found that the transfer of the ethanol molecules through the gel phase of sulfonic resin proceeds by means of the adsorption–desorption mechanism. The ratio of ethanol adsorption on sulfonic resin is one molecule per one acid site. During the ethanol adsorption on the gel and mixed sulfonic resin, one type of adsorbed complex is formed, whereas on the macroporous and loaded samples two adsorbed complexes with different energies are formed. This is probably because of the different localization of the acid sulfonic groups.
