Fuel production from renewable and carbon-neutral biomass has attracted much attention due to concerns for the depletion of petroleum reserves and global warming by greenhouse gases. Microalgae offer several advantages over conventional biomass as they have faster growth rate
do not require agricultural land for growth
and consume less water than terrestrial biomass. However
crude bio-oil from noncatalytic liquefaction of microalgae has a high content of oxygen
limiting its direct applications for transportation fuel. The high oxygen content suffers from some drawbacks such as lower energy density
poor oxidation stability and high corrosivity
so it should be deoxygenation upgraded as a high grade fuel. In this review
the effect of reaction atmosphere and nature of catalyst on the reaction pathways of the deoxygenation of fatty acids model compounds is discussed firstly. Then
related researches are reviewed based on crude oil of microalgal. Finally
problems in current bio-oil catalytic deoxygenation technologies
improvement advices and future prospect are also presented.
