Abstract
The invention relates to a process that comprises dehydration of by-products from ethanol production from sugar cane, by fluidized bed catalytic cracking, for obtaining a renewable hydrocarbon stream, preferably consisting primarily of olefins with 5 carbon atoms, for use in gasolines, and to the and to the hydrocarbon stream and gasoline formulations thus obtained.
Claims14
Process for obtaining a renewable hydrocarbon stream suitable as a component of gasoline formulations, characterized in that it comprises:
- a dehydration reaction of a feed of by-products from ethanol production from sugar cane, using fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) in the presence of an acid catalyst,
- the dehydration reaction occurring at a temperature in the range 350-550° C. and a pressure in the range of from 0 kgf/cm2 (0 KPa) to 2 kgf/cm2 (196.13 KPa), and
- wherein the catalyst/feed ratio by weight is between 3 and 10.
