Abstract

Catalysts and processes designed to convert DME and/or methanol and hydrogen (H.sub.2) to desirable liquid fuels are described. These catalysts produce the fuels efficiently and with a high selectivity and yield, and reduce the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons by incorporating H.sub.2 into the products. Also described are process methods to further upgrade these fuels to higher molecular weight liquid fuel mixtures, which have physical properties comparable with current commercially used liquid fuels.

Mixed Alcohol Dehydration over Bronsted and Lewis Acidic Catalysts

Journal Article Nash, Connor P. ; Ramanathan, Anand ; Ruddy, Daniel A. ; ... - Applied Catalysis. A, General

Mixed alcohols are attractive oxygenated products of biomass-derived syngas because they may be catalytically converted to a range of hydrocarbon products, including liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Catalytic dehydration to form olefins is a potential first step in the conversion of C ₂–C ₄ alcohols into longer-chain hydrocarbons. Here, we describe the physical and chemical characterization along with catalytic activity and selectivity of 4 Brønsted and Lewis acidic catalysts for the dehydration of two mixed alcohol feed streams that are representative of products from syngas conversion over K-CoMoS type catalysts (i.e., ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol and 2-methyl-1-propanol). Specifically, a Lewis acidic Zr-incorporated mesoporousmore »« less

Shifting the Paraffin-to-Olefin Ratio and Gasoline Fuel Properties with Bimetallic BEA Zeolite Catalysts in Dimethyl Ether Homologation

Conference Nash, Connor P ; Dupuis, Daniel P ; Farberow, Carrie A ; ...

Recent research on the production of HOG from DME over BEA zeolites suggests that this process offers an attractive alternative to traditional methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) technologies by operating at milder conditions and providing greater carbon efficiency 1. The HOG product is rich in branched olefins and paraffins, particularly triptane (2,2,3-trimethylbutane) which has high research- and motor-octane numbers (RON 112, MON 101), making it an ideal unleaded fuel or fuel additive for aviation or racing applications 2. RON and MON are important fuel metrics and research shows a correlation between them and paraffin and olefin content 3. Copper-modified BEA (Cu/BEA) is moremore »« less

Spectroscopic insight into carbon speciation and removal on a Cu/BEA catalyst during renewable high-octane hydrocarbon synthesis

Journal Article Wu, Qiyuan ; To, Anh T. ; Nash, Connor P. ; ... - Applied Catalysis B: Environmental

Conversion of methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) to high-octane gasoline catalyzed by beta zeolite (BEA) provides an opportunity for the production of high-quality fuels from renewable carbon sources (e.g., gasified biomass). Recent research demonstrated that a Cu-modified BEA zeolite catalyst (Cu/BEA) offered advantages over the unmodified BEA catalyst due to multifunctional Cu species that enabled incorporation of co-fed H2, reactivation of light alkanes, and reduction of products from the aromatic hydrocarbon pool. The shift in hydrocarbon pool chemistry has the potential to influence the identity and relative composition of surface carbon species that are often linked to deactivation. A detailedmore »« less
