jet fuel. Jet fuel produced from renewable sources must comply with existing fuel specifications. In_x000D_
collaboration with Greenfield Global it was demonstrated that a commercially available H-ZSM-5 catalyst_x000D_
could be used without any modification for the combined oligomerization and aromatization of a mixture of_x000D_
light hydrocarbons to produce a kerosene-rich product (NSERC Engage grant). In addition to the proof of_x000D_
concept work performed, a longer laboratory pilot run was conducted to collect ~5 L of reaction product, which_x000D_
is a mixture of paraffins and olefinic oligomers. The purpose of this work (NSERC Engage Plus grant) is to_x000D_
perform the refining steps necessary to turn this product into a semi-synthetic jet fuel blending component._x000D_
The reaction product will be hydrotreated and distilled to obtain different boiling fractions. The viable_x000D_
kerosene boiling range will be determined and the appropriate fraction will be characterized to determine_x000D_
whether it meets applicable DEF-STAN 91-91 and ASTM D 7566 specifications for a semi-synthetic aviation_x000D_
turbine fuel blending component., program purpose french : One of the few carbon-based fuels that do not have a simple carbon-free substitute, is aviation turbine fuel or_x000D_
