摘要
While the production of hydrocarbons by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is a widely recognized, yet technically quite complex way to transform biomass via syngas (mostly from biomass gasification) into liquid fuels, we here present an alternative route transforming biomass first into formic acid (FA) followed by syngas formation by decomposition of FA and finally FTS using regenerative hydrogen (or if needed H2 from the stored FA) to balance the C:H ratio. The new method builds on the recently developed, selective oxidation of biomass to formic acid using Keggin-type polyoxometalates of the general formula (H3+x[PVxMo12-xO40]) as homogeneous catalysts, oxygen as the oxidant, and water as the solvent. This method is able to transform a wide range of complex and wet biomass mixtures into FA as the sole liquid product at mild reaction conditions (90 degrees C, 20-30 bar O-2). We propose to convert FA with hydrogen from water electrolysis-the electrolysis step producing also the oxygen for the biomass oxidation to FA-to green hydrocarbon fuels using a typical Co-based FT catalyst.
