Herein, we present the production of jet and diesel range hydrocarbons from non-edible hexane-extracted Brassica carinata oil. The influence of four heterogeneous catalysts (two noble metal catalysts: Pd/C and Ru/C, and two transition metal…
The continuous production of a diesel-like biofuel from palm oil was evaluated by coupling two reactions stages in series, pre-hydrogenation with a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst at 250 °C and LHSV of 2 h−1, followed by deoxygenation with a sulfided Ni–Mo/Al2O3…
The co-processing of Jatropha curcas L oil (JC) and gasoil in mixtures of 20:80 and 50:50 volume percentages, respectively, was carried out in a batch reactor by using a commercial NiMo/Al2O3 (5wt%) catalyst at 750 rpm, 70 bar of initial pressure and…
This work investigates the effect of CeO2 doping into the CoNiMoS/Al2O3 catalyst on the efficiency of heavy vacuum gas oil (HVGO) hydrotreatment. Particularly, two supports contain 10% and 25% CeO2 to Al2O3 were prepared by co-precipitation method.…
Production of second-generation biofuels by upgrading of pyrolysis bio-oil from biomass attracted much attention in recent years. Here, we present a study dedicated to the stabilization of pyrolysis bio-oil over NiMo/Al2O3 catalyst in single-stage…
Pyrolysis bio-oil is unsuitable as transportation fuel due to its chemical composition and high oxygen (>30 wt%) and water (>20 wt%) content rendering the upgrading essential prior any downstream use. The current work investigates the upgrading of a…
In particular, a straw-based Ablative Fast Pyrolysis (AFP) oil was upgraded via hydrotreatment (HDT) in order to be used as a blending component with fossil-based intermediates. The raw pyrolysis oil is characterized by H/C = 0.14, O/C = 0.58 and…
Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of biomass waste streams constitutes a broad class of catalytic processes crucial to the sustainable manufacture of advanced biofuels. In this context, metal phosphides have received increasing attention as catalysts for HDO…
