Solvent-free dehydration, cyclization, and hydrogenation of linalool with a dual heterogeneous catalyst system to generate a high-performance sustainable aviation fuel

Sustainable aviation fuels offer the opportunity to both reduce CO2 emissions and produce fuels with superior properties to conventional petroleum-based fuels. Here, the bio-based monoterpene linalool is converted into an aviation fuel mixture primarily composed of p-menthane and 2,6-dimethyloctane...
