The present invention is directed to a method for preparing renewable and relatively high purity p-xylene from biomass. For example, biomass treated to provide a fermentation feedstock is fermented with a microorganism capable of producing a C4 alcohol such as isobutanol, then sequentially dehydrating the isobutanol in the presence of a dehydration catalyst to provide a C4 alkene such as isobutylene, dimerizing the C4 alkene to a form one or more C8 alkenes such as 2,4,4-trimethylpentenes or 2,5-dimethylhexene, then dehydrocyclizing the C8 alkenes in the presence of a dehydrocyclization catalyst to selectively form renewable p-xylene in high overall yield. The p-xylene can then be oxidized to form terephthalic acid or terephthalate esters.
本发明涉及一种从生物质制备可再生和相对高纯度对二甲苯的方法。例如,经过处理以提供发酵原料的生物质与能够产生C4醇(如异丁醇)的微生物发酵,然后在脱水催化剂的存在下顺序脱水异丁醇以提供C4烯烃(如异丁烯),将C4烯烃二聚化为一个或多个C8烯烃(如2,4,4-三甲基戊烯或2,5-二甲基己烯),然后在去氢环化催化剂的存在下去氢环化C8烯烃以有选择性地形成高总产率的可再生对二甲苯。然后,对二甲苯可以氧化形成对苯二甲酸或对苯二甲酸酯。
