Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides catalysts, methods, and reactor systems for converting oxygenated hydrocarbons to oxygenated compounds. The invention includes methods for producing cyclic ethers, monooxygenates, dioxygenates, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and alcohols from oxygenated hydrocarbons, such as carbohydrates, sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar degradation products, and the like, using catalysts containing palladium, molybdenum, tin, and tungsten. The oxygenated compounds produced are useful in the production of liquid fuels, chemicals, and other products.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for converting oxygenated hydrocarbons to lower molecular weight oxygenated compounds, the method comprising the step of reacting an aqueous feedstock solution with hydrogen, at a temperature of between about 100° C. and about 300° C., in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, to produce a reaction product comprising a cyclic ether and one or more oxygenated compounds selected from the group consisting of a polyol, a ketone, an aldehyde, a c…
