Process synthesizing sustainable aviation fuel compositions from starting materials comprising a double bond

Abstract

The invention is related to a process for synthesizing a sustainable aviation fuel composition. The process comprises providing a first intermediate mixture comprising a first compound that comprises at least one carbon-carbon double bond; followed by reacting the first compound in the first intermediate mixture in the presence of a first heat transfer agent to provide a second intermediate. Finally, the second intermediate is allowed to react in the presence of a second heat transfer agent, or alternatively in neat conditions, and optionally in presence of a catalyst to provide the sustainable fuel composition. The sustainable aviation fuel composition made available from the process of the invention is found to comprise monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) at useful concentration ranges (along with cycloalkanes) while they are substantially devoid of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
