Abstract
This study focuses on developing a new class of high energy density (HED) bio-aviation fuel. Alkyl bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes (ABCOs) were designed as potential HED aviation fuel, and a C12 ABCOs mixture was synthesized from renewable resources (α-phellandrene and maleic anhydride) using the Diels–Alder cycloaddition followed by hydrotreating. The synthesized ABCOs exhibited favorable fuel properties as HED fuel, including a gravimetric net heat of combustion comparable to Jet A-1 and higher density and volumetric net heat of combustion. ABCOs standalone showed poor low-temperature viscosities than Jet A-1 specifications but demonstrated no freezing behaviors even at extremely low temperatures. Fuel properties after blending ABCOs with Jet-A1 were also investigated, determining an upper limit of blending ratio of 44.1 vol%. These findings suggest that ABCOs can serve as a promising drop-in fuel for conventional jet fuel, while also potentially contributing to the formulation of bio-based and zero-aromatic high-performance jet fuels as a density-increasing component.
期刊介绍:
Fuel Processing Technology (FPT) deals with the scientific and technological aspects of converting fossil and renewable resources to clean fuels, value-added chemicals, fuel-related advanced carbon materials and by-products. In addition to the traditional non-nuclear fossil fuels, biomass and wastes, papers on the integration of renewables such as solar and wind energy and energy storage into the fuel processing processes, as well as papers on the production and conversion of non-carbon-containing fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, are also welcome. While chemical conversion is emphasized, papers on advanced physical conversion processes are also considered for publication in FPT. Papers on the fundamental aspects of fuel structure and properties will also be considered.
