Graphical Abstract

Alkane aus erneuerbarer Biomasse werden durch Reforming in wässriger Phase in einem Reaktor erhalten. Dehydratisierung an saurem Kontakt (SiO2/Al2O3) und Hydrierung der Zwischenprodukte an einem Metallkatalysator überführen Sorbitol, das aus Biomasse gewonnen wird, in die Alkane (siehe Schema). Der Wasserstoff entsteht, ebenfalls am Metallkatalysator, aus Sorbitol und Wasser.
