Production of renewable diesel via catalytic deoxygenation of natural triglycerides: Comprehensive understanding of reaction intermediates and hydrocarbons

Development of nickel based catalysts for the transformation of natural triglycerides and related compounds into green diesel: a critical review

“…Moreover, based on the values obtained for the ratio CO/CO 2 and the negligible methanation and water gas shift reaction in the gas phase over palladium catalyst it was concluded that the deCO of aldehyde is favored with respect to direct deCO 2 of the fatty acid over this catalyst. The same main route has been proposed for nickel supported catalysts [111,112] though relative reaction rates of deCO 2 / deCO cannot be easily estimated over this catalyst because of the extensive methanation in the gas phase [128]. Thus, the main route over the metallic catalysts up to the production of nheptadecane involves the steps (1'', 2'', 3'', 4'', and 6'').…”

Quantitative conversion of triglycerides to hydrocarbons over hierarchical ZSM-5 catalyst

“…Recently, hydroconversion of triglycerides to produce hydrocarbons has been considered as an alternative way to produce high quality fuel [9]. Desirable products ranging from gasoline to diesel fraction with excellent properties have been obtained with various kinds of catalysts [10][11][12][13][14]. The reaction pathways have also been widely studied using different vegetable oils such as canola oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and palm oil as well as the fatty acid fraction and/or the mixtures [15].…”

A Review on Thermal Conversion of Plant Oil (Edible and Inedible) into Green Fuel Using Carbon-Based Nanocatalyst

“…Many other studies have corroborated these results, and it has been suggested that slow pyrolysis is most suited for the production of charcoal [ Other common hydroprocessing reactions involved in the production of green diesel include hydronitrogenation (HDN), hydrodesulfurization (HDS), and hyrodematalisation (HDM). These reactions differ with respect to the element they target for removal from the feedstock, with HDN removing nitrogen, HDS removing sulfur, and HDM removing metal compounds [53,55]. The same catalysts can be used for HDO, HDS, or HDN reactions, however, due to the similarity of these processes.…”
