| abstract |
The invention relates to a process for preparing jet fuel or jet fuel precursors which comprises the treatment of a charge derived from biomass, the said charge comprising at least one compound chosen from terpenes of formula [CH 2 ═C(CH 3 )CH═CH 2 ]n, in which n is an integer of from 2 to 12, the carbon chain of which is linear, cyclic or branched, or cyclic or branched terpenes as defined previously, which have been chemically modified by oxidation and/or rearrangement of the carbon backbone, the said process comprising a cycloaddition step (i) followed by a cracking and hydrogenation step (ii). |
