“…Subsequent to the development of the raining solids reactors extensive experimental research was initiated to establish the products and conversion levels obtainable under various operating conditions utilizing various hydrocarbons ranging from paraffins to aromatics (Jones, et al, 1961a(Jones, et al, ,b, 1970(Jones, et al, , 1971a. Experiments were also undertaken to establish the utility of these processes for various conversions presently being employed in the petroleum and petrochemical industries as well as the chemical industry.…”

An initial attempt at firmly establishing the interrelationship of vapor-phase partial oxidation processes to the associated process parameters has been undertaken. This has been specifically done for the oxidation of ethane in the presence or absence of a countercurrent rain of particulate solids which enable uniform and stable control of the extreme reaction heat. It has been shown that these systems are comprised of a coupled chemical and physical transport process. Part I of this two-part series deals with the chemical processes of ethane partial oxidation. A mechanism is developed on the bases of experimental data illustrating the effects of temperature, pressure, composition, and contact time in conjunction with estimated rate parameters. The mechanism has been found very effective in quantitatively correlating and predicting experimental behavior over substantial ranges of conditions using derived Arrhenius parameters which are consistent when compared with theoretical estimates.

Diminishing fossil fuel reserves and growing concerns about global warming indicate that sustainable sources of energy are needed in the near future. For fuels to be useful in the transportation sector, they must have specific physical properties that allow for efficient distribution, storage and combustion; these properties are currently fulfilled by non-renewable petroleum-derived liquid fuels. Ethanol, the only renewable liquid fuel currently produced in large quantities, suffers from several limitations, including low energy density, high volatility, and contamination by the absorption of water from the atmosphere. Here we present a catalytic strategy for the production of 2,5-dimethylfuran from fructose (a carbohydrate obtained directly from biomass or by the isomerization of glucose) for use as a liquid transportation fuel. Compared to ethanol, 2,5-dimethylfuran has a higher energy density (by 40 per cent), a higher boiling point (by 20 K), and is not soluble in water. This catalytic strategy creates a route for transforming abundant renewable biomass resources into a liquid fuel suitable for the transportation sector, and may diminish our reliance on petroleum.
