Production of liquid hydrocarbons by catalytic decarboxylation of biodiesel over Mo/C at normal pressure
Decarboxylation of biodiesel in a tubular reactor with the internal diameter of 16 mm and the length of 600 mm was studied. Decarboxylation of biodiesel was conducted under nitrogen atmosphere at normal pressure over the supported molybdenum on activated carbon. The effects of reaction temperature
feeding velocity
catalyst amount
metal loading rate were investigated on the decarboxylation of biodiesel. The optimal condition was achieved that the reaction temperature is 340℃
the dosage of Mo/C is 40 g
the metal loading is 40% and the feeding velocity of fatty acid methyl esters is 0.3258 g·min-1. It was achieved about 100% conversion of fatty acid methyl esters and 62.35% yield of liquid hydrocarbon
in which alkane with carbon number of 15
17 and aromatic hydrocarbon with carbon number of 17 were the major products. The percentage of solid products
liquid products and gas products were 8.73%
63.04% and 28.23% respectively. The life of Mo/C catalyst was investigated under suitable condition and the reason of deactivation was also analyzed.
