Integrated production of bio-jet fuel containing lignin-derived arenes via lipid deoxygenation

We report an integrated production of bio-jet fuel, from dehydrogenation of lignin-derived cycloalkanes and deoxygenation of lipid over Ptlr/gamma-Al2O3 at 400 degrees C in the absence of hydrogen. The CO generated in situ via lipid decarbonylation is strongly adsorbed by Ir and subsequently undergoes methanation, with the remaining Pt sites catalyzing cycloalkane dehydrogenation.
