Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic fuel technology, and in particular relates to a method for preparing JP-10 aviation fuel. Background Technology
[0002] The dwindling fossil resources and the massive greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion are increasingly prominent environmental problems. Coupled with the continuously increasing societal demand for energy, the development of new energy sources to replace fossil resources is imperative. The application of biomass as a renewable organic carbon source in the production of carbon materials, fuels, and chemicals has become a hot research topic.
[0003] JP-10 aviation fuel is a commonly used high-density aviation fuel internationally. According to the US military standard MIL-P-87107C-1989, its density is 0.935 g / cm³. 3 With a freezing point of -78℃ and a calorific value of 42.1 MJ / kg, JP-10 possesses a higher energy density than conventional hydrocarbon fuels, making it a high-performance aviation fuel. It is widely used in supersonic fighter jets, cruise missiles, rockets, and other aircraft. JP-10 is a single-component fuel composed of bridging tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene with a purity of 98.5%. The current synthesis route for JP-10 involves using bridging dicyclopentadiene as a raw material, hydrogenating it to bridging tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene, and then isomerizing it under the catalysis of catalysts such as AlCl3 and H2SO4 to form bridging tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene. This method produces numerous byproducts at each step, requiring complex separation processes. The acid-catalyzed isomerization step causes severe environmental pollution and results in low yields. Other methods exist for synthesizing JP-10 aviation fuel, but these all rely on cyclopentadiene or dicyclopentadiene derived from fossil fuels, making them highly dependent on non-renewable fossil energy sources.

[0080] This invention achieves highly selective preparation of high-purity straddle-shaped tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene from furfural through a three-step reaction, which, after purification, can be used as JP-10 aviation fuel. The novel reaction pathway involves the reconstruction of furfural molecules to prepare the five-membered carbon ring molecule cyclopentenone, followed by the construction of a four-membered strained carbon ring via a green and efficient photocatalytic [2+2] cycloaddition, and finally, the efficient preparation of cycloalkane products through a metal-supported molecular sieve catalyst for skeletal rearrangement and hydrodeoxygenation. The selectivity for straddle-shaped tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene can reach up to 93%, and the catalyst is simple to synthesize, suitable for large-scale preparation. After simple subsequent purification, it can be used as JP-10 aviation fuel or directly as a special aviation fuel. This route is green and environmentally friendly, and is an efficient method for synthesizing JP-10 aviation fuel from the renewable biomass platform compound furfural, which is beneficial for promoting the high-value utilization of biomass resources.
[0081] To further illustrate the present invention, the following describes in detail a method for preparing JP-10 aviation fuel provided by the present invention with reference to embodiments, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0082] Example 1: Preparation of cyclopentenone from furfural
[0083]
[0084] 6 mL of water was added to a 35 mL steel reactor, followed by 0.4 mmol of furfural, 0.4 μmol of Cp*Ir(4,4'-(OH)2-bpy)(H2O)]SO4, and 20 mg of γ-Al2O3-1. After assembling the reactor, it was purged three times with high-pressure nitrogen and three times with high-pressure hydrogen, and finally purged with 3 MPa of hydrogen. The temperature was increased from room temperature to 130 °C at a rate of 5 °C / min, and the reaction was stirred for 2 h before cooling to room temperature. The conversion rate of the starting material was 100%, and the yield of cyclopentenone was 60%. Pure cyclopentenone was obtained by column chromatography with a petroleum ether:ethyl acetate ratio of 6:1 as the eluent.
[0085] Following the operating steps of Example 1, cyclopentenone was prepared using the remaining 14 catalysts listed below, and the feed conversion and product yield of different catalysts are listed in Table 1.

[0088]
[0089] Example 2: Cyclopentenone undergoes self-dimerization under ultraviolet light to generate a C10 four-membered ring oxygen-containing compound.
[0090]
[0091] 10 mL of acetonitrile was added to a quartz glass tube, followed by 4 mmol of cyclopentenone. The mixture was bubbled with nitrogen for 0.5 h under stirring, then sealed with a condenser. The cooling water was turned on to maintain the copolymerization temperature at 20 °C, and the mixture was irradiated with a 185-254 nm UV lamp for 8 h. The reaction solution was separated by column chromatography to obtain a C10 four-membered ring oxygen-containing cyclopentenone dimer, with a petroleum ether:ethyl acetate ratio of 3:1 as the eluent. The product was a mixture of various isomers (involving head-to-head and head-to-tail isomers, as well as cis-trans isomers of the four-membered ring). The different isomers exhibited similar reactivity and product properties upon hydrogenation deoxygenation.
[0092] Following the operating steps of Example 2, the conversion rates of raw materials and the yields of products under different reaction conditions are listed in Table 2.

[0095] Example 3: Preparation of JP-10 by hydrogenation and deoxygenation of C10 four-membered ring oxygen-containing compound
[0096]
[0097] 5 mL of cyclohexane was added to a 35 mL steel reactor, followed by 0.5 mmol of a C10 four-membered ring oxygen-containing compound and 35 mg of 2 wt% Pd-supported MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst. After assembling the reactor, it was purged three times with high-pressure nitrogen and three times with high-pressure hydrogen, and finally purged with 5 MPa of hydrogen. The temperature was increased from room temperature to 220 °C at a rate of 5 °C / min, and the reaction was stirred for 8 h before cooling to room temperature. The feed conversion rate was 100%, the yield of bridged tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene was 93%, and the reaction product also contained small amounts of bridged tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene and decahydronaphthalene.
[0098] The preparation method of 2 wt% Pd-supported MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst by impregnation is as follows: 43 mg of Pd(NO3)2 and 1 g of MCM-22 molecular sieve are mixed and stirred in water at room temperature for 3 h. The suspension is dried in air at 120 °C. The resulting solid is washed three times with water using a centrifuge and dried in air at 120 °C. Finally, the temperature is raised from room temperature to 400 °C in air at a rate of 5 °C / min in a tube furnace, held for 4 h, and then cooled to room temperature to obtain 2 wt% Pd-supported MCM-22 molecular sieve catalyst.
[0099] Following the operating steps of Example 3, the conversion rates of the raw materials (C10 four-membered ring oxygen-containing compounds) and the yields of the products (hanging tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene) under different reaction conditions are listed in Table 3.
