Abstract
Hydrodeoxygenation of oleic acid as model compound of vegetable oils over Pd/zeolite catalysts was investigated under conditions of 375−400 °C and 15 bar in a semi batch stirred autoclave reactor. Pd/zeolite-1 and Pd/zeolite-2 catalysts were prepared using microwave polyol method with different treatment conditions. The liquid hydrocarbon products named Renewable Diesel have suitable density and viscosity, and quite high cetane index in accordance with standard commercial diesel and ASTM D-975. The IR spectrum of Renewable Diesel products have similarities with commercial diesel. The oxygenation removal pathway of oleic acid over Pd/zeolite 1 catalyst was primarily compiled through decarboxylation at 375 °C.
