Conversion of triglycerides to fuel hydrocarbons over a Pt-Pd-Al-HMS catalyst
The hydroconversion of rapeseed oil fatty acid triglycerides (TGs) over a mesoporous platinum-palladium aluminosilicate catalyst has been studied. It has been shown that, in a temperature range of 250-375A degrees C at a hydrogen pressure of 60 atm, the TGs undergo complete deoxygenation and the resulting products undergo isomerization. Under optimum process conditions, the diesel fraction yield is 94%. The resulting fraction can be used as an environmentally safe fuel component.
