BIORRENEWABLE KEROSEN, FUEL FOR JET ENGINES, MIXTURE OF JET ENGINE FUEL COMPONENTS AND MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

These are compositions comprising at least about 98 weight percent (wt%) n-paraffins which, among other surprising features, may be suitable for use as a diesel fuel, an aviation fuel, a mixture of jet engine fuel components, a mixture of components to reduce the fog point of a diesel fuel, a portable heater fuel and / or as a charcoal-igniting fluid. the composition includes at least about 98 wt% of c7-c12 n-paraffins, wherein at least about 10 wt% of the composition includes n-decane, at least about 20 wt% of the composition includes n-dodecane , and at least about 75% by weight of the composition includes even-numbered paraffins. The composition also includes less than about 0.1 wt% oxygenates and less than about 0.1 wt% aromatics. The composition may be produced by a process including hydrotreating a biorenewable feedstock comprising at least one of palm kernel oil, coconut oil, babassu oil, microbial oil or algae oil.
