Abstract:
A method of producing at least one derivate of a carboxylic acid. The method includes reacting a carboxylic acid with an auxiliary alkanol on a first catalyst to form a produced ester. A fraction of the produced ester is optionally separated to form a first separated ester. At least a fraction of said produced ester is reacted with hydrogen on a second catalyst to produce a mixture of product alkanol, auxiliary alkanol and optionally residual ester. The product alkanol is separated from the auxiliary alkanol in the mixture to form separated product alkanol, separated auxiliary alkanol, and optionally a second separated ester. The separated auxiliary alkanol is recycled to the reaction. Methods and catalysts for converting alcohols and acids to hydrocarbon jet and diesel fuels are also described.

Claim (Index 11):
A method according to  claim 7 , wherein said separating from said fermentation liquor comprises contacting said fermentation liquor with an extractant comprising a first and/or second separated ester RCOOR\u2032 to form an extract solution comprising said first and/or second separated ester RCOOR\u2032 and said carboxylic acid RCOOH, and wherein the method further comprises adding said extract solution to said reactor.
