Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a biomass-based high-energy-density aviation fuel and a method for preparing high-energy-density aviation fuel from the McMurry coupling reaction of biomass-based ketones, belonging to the field of organic synthesis technology. Background Technology

[0002] High-energy-density (HED) liquid fuels, due to their high energy density per unit volume, can significantly improve aircraft range, payload, and combustion efficiency. Currently, fossil fuels and biomass are considered the two main sources of HED liquid fuels. However, with the depletion of fossil energy and the goals of carbon neutrality and carbon peaking, the development of HED liquid fuels using renewable energy sources to supplement the depletion of fossil energy has attracted widespread attention.

[0003] The natural cyclic framework of biomass-based feedstocks (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and terpenes, etc.) provides a structural basis for constructing high-density fuel molecules. Simultaneously, the relevant functional groups can also serve as programmable reaction sites, enabling the controlled assembly of ring units, which provides favorable conditions for the subsequent synthesis of high-energy-density liquid fuels. However, the density of straight-chain and monocyclic alkanes obtained by direct hydrogenation and deoxygenation of biomass feedstocks is typically low (≤0.79 g / ml), insufficient to meet the requirements of high-energy-density liquid fuels (≥0.85 g / ml). Currently, biomass-based bicyclic alkane liquid fuels reported in related studies generally suffer from high freezing points, making it difficult to achieve a balance between freezing point, density, and calorific value, while also exhibiting low yields, hindering industrial application. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a biomass-based high-energy-density aviation fuel and a method for preparing high-energy-density aviation fuel from the McMurry coupling reaction of biomass-based ketones. It can meet the requirements of high-energy-density liquid fuel (≥0.85g / ml), achieving a balance between freezing point, density and calorific value, while significantly improving yield and raw material utilization, and facilitating industrial promotion.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A biomass-based high-energy-density aviation fuel, with the following structural formula:

[0007] To better balance density and freezing point, the structural formula for biomass-based high-energy-density aviation fuel is as follows:

[0008] A method for preparing high-energy-density aviation fuel from biomass-based ketones via the McMurry coupling reaction includes the following steps:

[0009] (1) Under the catalytic action of a catalyst and at 40-60℃, biomass-based ketones undergo carbonylation coupling reactions in a solvent for 1-4 hours. After post-treatment, biomass-based pinacol (PNC-1, PNC-2) or polycyclic olefin derivatives (XT-3, XT-4, XT-5) are obtained as high-energy-density fuel precursors. The biomass-based ketones are cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, isophorone, menthone, or norpinone. The catalyst is at least one of TiCl4 / Zn, AlCl3 / Zn, InCl3 / Zn, TiCl3 / Zn, and SnCl4 / Zn.

[0010] (2) Place biomass-based pinacol or polycyclic olefin derivatives in a high-pressure reactor and carry out a hydrogenation and deoxygenation reaction under the catalysis of Pd / C with a Pd loading of 5-10% to convert them into biomass-based polycyclic alkanes.

[0011] The structure of the biomass-based pinacol or polycyclic olefin derivative is shown below:

[0012]

[0013] The biomass-based pinacol or polycyclic olefin derivatives are named PNC-1, PNC-2 and XT-3, XT-4, XT-5, respectively.

[0014] The structure of the biomass-based polycyclic alkane is shown below:

[0015]

[0016] The biomass-based polycyclic alkane derivatives are named WT-1, WT-2, WT-3, WT-4, and WT-5, respectively.

[0017] The above preparation is simple. After the first step of self-coupling, hydrogen can be added directly for deoxygenation, without the need for dehydration, DA cycloaddition and other steps.

[0018] Unless otherwise specified, all percentages in this application are percentages by mass.

[0019] The reaction equation for step (1) above is:

[0020]

[0021] The reaction equation for step (2) above is:

[0022]

[0023] In step (1), the biomass-based ketone is preferably isophorone; the reaction time is more preferably 4 hours.

[0024] In step (1) above, the preparation method of the catalyst TiCl4 / Zn, AlCl3 / Zn, InCl3 / Zn, TiCl3 / Zn or SnCl4 / Zn is as follows: Under N2 atmosphere, zinc powder and anhydrous tetrahydrofuran are stirred at 0°C, and TiCl4, AlCl3, InCl3, TiCl3 or SnCl4 are added. The reaction is carried out at 0°C for 20-30 minutes, and then the temperature is raised to 60-70°C and the reaction is continued for 2-4 hours. The reaction system is cooled to 0°C, pyridine is added, and the mixture is stirred for 5-10 minutes to obtain the target catalyst. The amount of pyridine used is n(pyridine):n(TiCl4) = 1:2. The molar ratio of TiCl4, AlCl3, InCl3, TiCl3 or SnCl4 to zinc powder is (3-6):1, more preferably 5:1. The ratio of zinc powder to anhydrous tetrahydrofuran is (0.13-1.6) g:40 mL.

[0025] To further improve the product yield, in step (1), the catalyst is preferably TiCl4 / Zn, and the molar ratio of TiCl4 to Zn is (3-6):1, more preferably 5:1.

[0026] In step (1) above, the material ratio of the catalyst is n(biomass base ketone):n(zinc powder in the catalyst) = 1:2~10, and the reaction solvent is tetrahydrofuran, toluene or diethyl ether, more preferably tetrahydrofuran.

[0027] In order to improve the purity of the product, the post-processing method after the reaction in step (1) above is as follows: the reaction temperature is lowered to room temperature, the reaction is quenched with a 10% potassium carbonate aqueous solution, extracted with dichloromethane, washed with saturated brine and water in sequence, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and crystallized at low temperature to obtain biomass-based pinacol or polycyclic olefin derivatives.

[0028] In step (2) above, the mass ratio of biomass-based pinacol or polycyclic olefin derivative to Pd / C is 1:(0.01-0.1), the reaction temperature is 200-220℃, the reaction pressure is 2-5MPa, and the reaction time is 4-6h.

[0029] In step (2) above, cyclohexane is used as the reaction solvent, and the ratio of solvent to biomass-based pinacol or polycyclic olefin derivative is (0.8-1.2) mL: 1 g.

[0030] After the reaction in step (2) above is completed, the following post-processing is performed: the reaction solution is filtered through a sand core funnel and then concentrated under reduced pressure.

[0031] Any techniques not mentioned in this invention are based on existing technologies.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0033] 1. This invention can completely achieve the high-yield preparation of high-energy-density aviation fuel from biomass platform compounds such as cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, menthone, menthone and norpinone in two steps. The density of each of them is greater than 0.85 g / mL, which is a high-performance aviation kerosene alkane compound.

[0034] 2. The entire route uses biomass-based platform compounds as raw materials, making it a novel and green route that does not produce harmful substances and is simple and easy to operate.

[0035] 3. Through method improvements, the precursor yield can reach over 92%, significantly improving the utilization rate of raw materials and facilitating industrial production.

[0036] 4. The high-energy-density aviation fuel of this invention also achieves a balance between freezing point, density, and calorific value. Attached Figure Description
