Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for converting carbohydrates into hydrocarbons and heterocyclic compounds, especially oxo hydrocarbons and furans, with reduced formation of char.
- the methods of the invention include reacting a carbohydrate with reactant having a strong chemical affinity for carbon dioxide.
- the present invention has applications in the fields of organic chemistry, petroleum chemistry, and bio-chemicals.
- Carbohydrates also known as saccharides, are the dominant chemical constituents of the most abundant and dominant biomasses on earth, which comprise more than 60 % of the total known plant mass. Common carbohydrates include sugars, starches, cellulose and hemicelluloses, and their various chemical derivatives. Carbohydrates have the general chemical formula C m (H 2 0) n , where m and n can be equal or not, and the hydrogen and oxygen are in a ratio of 2:1 as for water (whence the name "hydrate of carbon” , since the constituents of water, hydrogen (H) and hydroxyl (OH), are bound to each carbon atom). Carbohydrates are neither chemical hydrates nor fatty acids; instead, they are polyhydroxyl-, aldehyde-, and ketone-containing compounds.
- the carbohydrates are divided into four chemical families: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
- the monosaccharides and disaccharides are commonly referred to as "sugars" .
- a common example of a monosaccharide is glucose; common examples of disaccharides are sucrose and lactose.
- Oligosaccharides are chains of fewer than ten saccharides; polysaccharides are chains longer than ten saccharides.
- Biologically, polysaccharides store chemical energy (e.g., starch and glycogen) and provide structural support (e.g., cellulose and hemicellulose in plants and chitin in arthropods) .
- Cellulose has the chemical formula (C 6 H 10 O 5 ) n ; it is a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to over ten thousand ⁇ (1 — > 4)-linked D-glucose units.
- Cellulose is the primary structural component of the cell wall of green plants and in many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Cellulose also is both abundant and renewable: About one-third of the mass of all plant matter is cellulose (the percentage may be higher in some plants, such as 90% in cotton and 40-50% in trees).
- Another major carbohydrate is hemicellulose. Hemicellulose is a polysaccharide consisting of various sugars. About 20% of all plant biomass is hemicellulose. As such, hemicellulose too is both abundant and renewable.
- Hydrocarbons so named because they formally correspond to "hydrogenated carbon” (C m H 2n ) , and oxygen-containing derivatives ( “oxo hydrocarbons” ) , are also derived from carbohydrates by a variety of geological processes, operating over “geological" time scales, that are still not well understood.
- the utility of hydrocarbons is well understood. Nevertheless, many scientists fear that global hydro- carbon production will soon peak, and may already peaked, thus leaving the world with the prospect of dwindling supplies of hydrocarbon fuel stocks and feedstocks for nearly all of the most important chemical building blocks.
