A method to generate dense, multi-cyclic diamondoid fuels from bio-derived sesquiterpenes. This process can be conducted with both heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts and produces the targeted isomers in high yield. The resulting multi-cyclic structures impart significantly higher densities and volumetric net heats of combustion while maintaining low viscosities which allow for use at low temperature/high altitude. Moreover, bio-derived sesquiterpenes can be produced from renewable biomass sources. Use of these fuels will decrease Navy dependence on fossil fuels and will also reduce net carbon emissions.
一种从生物衍生的倍半萜生成密集的、多环的金刚烷燃料的方法。该过程可以使用异质和均质催化剂进行,并且产出目标异构体的产率高。由此产生的多环结构赋予燃料显著更高的密度和体积净燃烧热,同时保持低粘度,可在低温/高海拔条件下使用。此外,生物衍生的倍半萜可以从可再生生物质来源生产。使用这些燃料将减少海军对化石燃料的依赖,并减少净碳排放。
