Researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison and ExxonMobil Research and Engineering have devised a two-stage process by which an alcohol such as ethanol or 1-butanol can be converted with high yields into distillate-range ethers and olefins by combining Guerbet coupling (the coupling of two alcohol molecules) and intermolecular dehydration.

Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a phenomenon—the direct conversion of mechanical energy to chemical energy—which they termed the piezoelectrochemical (PZEC) effect. They then applied the PZEC effect to generate hydrogen and oxygen via direct water splitting.

The new pretreatment approach uses ammonia (NH 3 ) to reorganize the hydrogen bond network within cellulose, resulting in up to a 5-fold increase in saccharification rates. This, in turn, significantly reduces the tightness of the cellulose network and leaves it more vulnerable to conversion into sugar by fungi-derived cellulolytic enzymes.

The traditional process for converting plant material to GVL requires catalysts made from precious metals and must be done at very high pressures of hydrogen gas, which makes the process cost-prohibitive. That chain is then closed into a ring by adding hydrogen atoms in a process called hydrogenation.

Conversely to the effect on diesel fuel, the additive shifts the distillation curve of gasoline to higher temperatures. We note that this issue may have more importance operationally than we have been able to ascribe to our volatility measurements alone. The extent of these shifts is proportional to the amount of additive in the mixtures.
