Hydrocarbon fuels from vegetable oils via hydrolysis and thermo-catalytic decarboxylation

► Converting vegetable oil into hydrocarbon fuel using hydrolysis and decarboxylation. ► The free fatty acid conversion from hydrolysis has yielded at 99.7%. ► The decarboxylation average rate was determined as 15.5 mmoles/min. ► The cold flow properties of the fuel was improved using isomerization process.
