Key Points

The research aims to explore the use of ketones as hydrogen acceptors in upgrading bio-derived oxygenates to aviation fuels.
Investigated the reaction mechanisms of short-chain internal ketones
Utilized H/ZSM-5 catalyst for oxygenate conversion
Evaluated the efficiency of the upgrading process for synthetic aviation fuel production
Demonstrated potential for improved conversion of bio-derived oxygenates using ketones
Identified key reaction pathways facilitated by H/ZSM-5
Showed enhancements in fuel yields with specific ketone formulations

Implication

Demonstrates the conversion of bio-derived oxygenates to fuels using ketones, suggesting a new approach for effective fuel production.

Abstract

Heterogeneous mixtures of bio-derived oxygenates are promising feedstocks for synthetic aviation fuel (SAF), but conversion strategies for one common component—short-chain (C 5–7 ) internal ketones—are lacking.
