Cycloalkanes are important components of not only traditional vehicle fuels such as gasoline and diesel, but also jet fuels, such as Jet-A/Jet-A1/JP-8. Lignin-derived methoxyphenols can be further deoxygenated to propylcyclohexane—a cycloalkane. A solvent is added to the mix to help dissolve and loosen up the materials.
