The present invention is directed to processes for the direct conversion of lipidic biomass fuelstock to combustible fuels. In particular, the invention provides a process for the direct conversion of animal fats to transportations fuels suitable as replacement for petroleum-derived transportation fuels. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of hydrolyzing a lipidic biomass to form free fatty acids, catalytically deoxygenating the free fatty acids to form n-alkanes, and reforming at least a portion of the n-alkanes into a mixture of compounds in the correct chain length, conformations, and ratio to be useful transportation fuels. Particularly, the product prepared according to the invention comprises mixtures of hydrocarbon compounds selected from the group consisting of n-alkanes, isoalkanes, aromatics, cycloalkanes, and combinations thereof.

La présente invention se rapporte à des procédés pour la conversion directe de matières combustibles sous forme de biomasse lipidique en carburants combustibles. L'invention se rapporte, en particulier, à un procédé pour la conversion directe de graisses animales en carburants combustibles destinés au transport, appropriés pour remplacer des carburants dérivés du pétrole destinés au transport. Dans un mode de réalisation, le procédé comprend les étapes d'hydrolyse d'une biomasse lipidique de façon à former des acides gras libres, de désoxygénation catalytique des acides gras libres de façon à former des n-alkanes, et de reformation d'au moins une partie des n-alkanes en un mélange de composés dans la longueur de chaîne correcte, de conformations, et d'un rapport leur permettant d'être utilisés comme des carburants destinés au transport. De façon plus spécifique, le produit préparé selon l'invention comprend des mélanges de composés d'hydrocarbures sélectionnés dans le groupe comprenant ce qui suit : n-alkanes, isoalkanes, hydrocarbures aromatiques, cycloalkanes, ainsi que des combinaisons de ces éléments.
