Catalytic hydrogenation of Low temperature coal tar into jet fuel by using two-reactors system

Abstract The experiment of the jet fuel fraction through hydrogenation was investigated via hydrogenation in two-stage fixed beds reactor filled with hydrofining catalyst and hydroisomerization catalyst with low-temperature coal tar (LTCT) distillate ( −1 . The results showed that at a fixed pressure (10 MPa), reaction temperature (380 °C), LHSV (0.8 h −1 ) and the H 2 /oil ratio of (1600:1), the yield of the jet fuel fraction and the content of saturated hydrocarbons in the prodcuts were 58.0% and 60.7%, respectively. Finally, by GC–MS analysis, cyclanes and i-alkanes were dominant components in the jet fuel fraction, approximately accounting for 63.08% and 20.25%, respectively.
