TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The intermediate feedstock comprises oxygenated hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes, carbon monoxide (CO)x molecules, hydrogen, synthesis gas, or their combinations. The raw feedstock is biomass, natural gas, coal, or petroleum. The alcohol is chosen from a primary alcohol, a secondary alcohol, a polyhydric alcohol, and their combinations. The carboxylic acid is chosen from mono-carboxylic acid, di-carboxylic acid, hydroxycarboxylic acid, and their combinations. The aromatic hydrocarbons are chosen from benzene, toluene, orthoxylene, metaxylene, paraxylene, ethylbenzene, 9C aromatics, and their combinations. The oxygenate mixture comprises two or more members chosen from alcohol, carboxylic acid, ester, ketone, and aldehyde. The hydrogen stream is combined with the COx molecules to produce hydrocarbons, alcohols, carboxylic acids, or their combinations. The oxygen stream is combined with the hydrocarbons to produce alcohols, carboxylic acids, or their combinations. Preferred Method: The method involves converting by performing fermentation, hydrogenolysis, hydrolysis, pyrolysis, aqueous phase reforming, alcohol synthesis, Fisher-Tropsch synthesis, steam reforming, partial oxygenation, or their combinations. The method involves fermenting the intermediate feedstock with one or more species of microorganism to form a fermentation broth comprising alcohols or carboxylic acids, removing the alcohols or carboxylic acids from the fermentation broth to provide the feedstock stream, and purifying the feedstock stream before exposing the oxygenate mixture to the conditioning catalyst. The method involves processing by performing sugar processing, biomass deconstruction, gasification, pyrolysis, combustion, liquefaction, steam reforming, cracking, or their combinations. The method involves conditioning by exposing the feedstock stream to a conditioning catalyst at a conditioning temperature and a conditioning pressure to produce the oxygenate mixture or combining a portion of the feedstock stream with a portion of a second feedstock stream to produce the oxygenate mixture. The method involves fermenting the feedstock with one or more species of microorganism to form a fermentation broth comprising alcohols or carboxylic acids and removing the alcohols or carboxylic acids from the fermentation broth to provide a feedstock stream comprising (a) one or more of a primary alcohol, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, erythritol, threitol or sugar alcohols or (b) one or more of mono-carboxylic acid, di-carboxylic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, caproic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, glycolic acid, acrylic acid, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, glutaconic acid, muconic acid, itaconic acid, or citric acid, exposing the feedstock stream to a dehydrogenation catalyst at a dehydrogenation temperature and a dehydrogenation pressure to produce diatomic hydrogen and an oxygenate mixture or exposing the feedstock stream to hydrogen and a hydrogenation catalyst at a hydrogenation temperature and a hydrogenation pressure to produce an oxygenate mixture, and exposing the oxygenate mixture to a condensation catalyst at a condensation pressure of less than atmospheric pressure to 1000 psig and a condensation temperature of 250-550 degrees C.
