Conversion of syngas into light olefins in one step for process-intensified production of sustainable aviation fuels
Abstract
Here, we report on a preliminary investigation for direct conversion of syngas into olefins. This technology combines alcohol(s) production and olefin(s) production into a single unit operation to improve process efficiencies due to the overcoming of equilibrium limitations and also to offer capital savings relative to current synthesis approaches including Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, methanol-to-olefins followed by olefins to gasoline/distillate process and alcohol-to-jet process.Published: June 13, 2023
