Abstract

The continuous depletion of natural resources as the main raw material for the production of hydrocarbons has led to widespread research into biorenewable raw materials, especially bioalcohols. The use of an alternative type of raw material based on biomass will significantly improve both the environmental situation in the world, due to the reduction of emissions from the combustion of light gases, and the economic one. It is worth noting that the processing of alcohols obtained from plant raw materials may be the most promising, since various grain crops, forest waste, biomass, etc. are used in the process of obtaining bioalcohols. The presented article presents some features of the production of synthetic hydrocarbons from ethanol, butanol and isopropanol as biorenewable raw materials. A method for transforming alcohols into hydrocarbons is also presented.
