Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing fuels and/or additives, comprising: hydrogenating at least one acyclic monoterpene alcohol with at least one transition metal hydrogenation catalyst to produce a fully saturated monoterpene alcohol tetrahydrolinaioot (THL); dehydrating said tetrahydroinatool (THL) with at least one acid catalyst and azeotropic distillation and recovering benzene to produce 3,7-dimethyk˜tene isomers; acid catalyzing reaction of said 3,7-dimethyloctene isomers and recovering benzene; hydrogenating said 3,7-dimethyloctene isomers with at least one transition metal catalyst to produce a mixture of 2,6-dimethyloctane (DMO), dimers (C distillation isolating said 2,6-dimethyloctane (DMO), dimers (C leaving said distillation pot residue (C
