Popis: The problems associated with producing hydrocarbons from bioethanol on the basis of new zeolite-containing catalysts are considered. A flexible technology is devised for converting bioethanol to engine fuel, olefins, and aromatic hydrocarbons—important products for the petrochemical industry. The economic and environmental prospects for replacing fossil fuels with alternative fuels are analyzed. A scheme for a mechanism that allows precision control over the process of bioethanol conversion is proposed. The possibility of hydrogenating a liquid fraction derived from bioethanol and containing aromatic hydrocarbons in order to produce hydrocarbon fuels of various types is studied. A sample of a reactive synthetic fuel meeting the technical requirements for synthetic hydrocarbon aviation fuel for gas-turbine engines was obtained.
