“…Pioneered by the research works of Dumesic [17][18][19], Corma [20][21][22] and Huber [23,24], the synthesis of diesel and jet fuel range alkanes with the lignocellulosic platform chemicals has attracted tremendous attention [25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The synthetic strategy for the diesel and jet fuel range alkanes usually contains two steps: In the first step, diesel (C 9 -C 22 ) and jet fuel (C 8 -C 16 ) range oxygenates were synthesized by the C-C coupling reactions of the lignocellulosic platform chemicals.…”

Clostridium beijerinckii optinoii is a Clostridium species that produces butanol, isopropanol and small amounts of ethanol. This study compared the performances of batch and continuous immobilized cell fermentations, investigating how media flow rates and nutritional modification affected solvent yields and productivity. In 96-h batch cultures, with 80 % of the 30 g L(-1) glucose consumed in synthetic media, solvent concentration was 9.45 g L(-1) with 66.0 % as butanol. In a continuous fermentation using immobilized C. beijerinckii optinoii cells, also with 80 % of 30 g L(-1) glucose utilization, solvent productivity increased to 1.03 g L(-1) h(-1). Solvent concentration reached 12.14 g L(-1) with 63.0 % as butanol. Adjusting the dilution rate from 0.085 to 0.050 h(-1) to allow extended residence time in column was required when glucose concentration in fresh media was increased from 30 to 50 g L(-1). When acetate was used to improve the buffer capacity in media, the solvent concentration reached 12.70 on 50 g L(-1) glucose. This continuous fermentation using immobilized cells showed technical feasibility for solvent production.

“…[13][14][15][16] Hydroxyacetone is the dehydration product of glycerol. 17,18 This compound has a similar structure to acetone and can be used as a potential platform compound in the synthesis of renewable diesel or jet fuel by the combination of C-C coupling reaction and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO).…”

“…In the previous work of Corma et al 16 and our group, 22,23 5,5 0 -(propane-2,2-diyl)bis(2-methylfuran) was prepared by the HAA of 2-MF with acetone. In this work, the reactivity of hydroxyacetone and acetone in the HAA of 2-MF was compared at 323 K. Under the same reaction conditions, an evidently higher yield of the HAA product (41.6% vs. 24.7%) can be achieved over Nafion-212 resin when hydroxyacetone was used to replace acetone as the carbonyl compound to react with 2-MF (see Fig.…”
