METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROCARBON FUELS FROM ETHANOL ON APATITE CATALYSTS, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID CATALYSTS, THUS OBTAINED CATALYSTS, AND USES THEREOF

摘要

This invention relates to a method for producing from ethanol a mixture of both oxygenated and non-oxygenated hydrocarbon fuels with a number of carbon atoms from C1 to C18, on apatite catalysts by heterogeneous catalysis in a single step in the gaseous phase and under atmospheric pressure, and to the synthesis of these catalysts. The aim of the invention is to provide alternative fuels to the existing fossil fuels (e.g. petrol, diesel and aviation fuels).
