20120205284 | HIGH DENSITY RENEWABLE FUELS BASED ON THE SELECTIVE DIMERIZATION OF PINENES - An effective method for producing high density fuel candidates from pinenes is provided. MMT-K10 is an efficient catalyst for the reaction, although significant amounts of p-cymene and camphene produced as byproducts limit the overall yield to about 80%. Nafion is also an excellent catalyst for pinene dimerization and was capable of producing dimers in up to 90% yield. Pinene dimers synthesized with these heterogenous catalysts have a density and net heat of combustion comparable to JP-10. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope of the claims. | 08-16-2012 |
20120209036 | TURBINE AND DIESEL FUELS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME - A process for making diesel and turbine fuels including, providing an effective amount of branched olefins, adding active heterogeneous acid catalyst(s) to said branched olefins to produce a solvent-free mixture, heating said solvent-free mixture greater than about 100° C. for a desired amount of time depending on various conditions, to produce C | 08-16-2012 |
20120209043 | SELECTIVE ISOMERIZATION AND OLIGOMERIZATION OF OLEFIN FEEDSTOCKS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TURBINE AND DIESEL FUELS - A process for converting alcohol feedstocks to diesel/turbine fuels. | 08-16-2012 |
20120209044 | SELECTIVE ISOMERIZATION AND OLIGOMERIZATION OF OLEFIN FEEDSTOCKS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TURBINE AND DIESEL FUELS - A process from converting alcohol feedstock to diesel/turbine fuels. | 08-16-2012 |
20120209045 | Diesel and Jet Fuels Based on the Oligomerization of Butene - A renewable biofuel based on a highly efficient batch catalysis methodology for conversion of 1-butene to a new class of potential jet fuel blends. By tuning the catalyst and then using the dimer produced, the carbon use is about 95% or greater. This latter point will be particularly important in the future, where the source of raw materials (i.e., biomass/biofeedstock) is limited. Also noteworthy, the batch catalysis approach disclosed requires a minimal input of energy and hydrogen to make fuels that possess useful flash points, coldflow properties, and solution density/energy content. This new process affords a saturated hydrocarbon fuel that has a high solution density and thus possesses a higher calculated power density (per volume) than similar fuels made by the GTL Fischer-Tropsch processes. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope of the claims. | 08-16-2012 |
