A conversion of stearic acid into hydrocarbons in the presence of palladium on alumina has been studied. It has been shown that heptadecane and carbon monoxide are formed as the main products,...
The problem of preparing engine fuels from renewable feedstocks via the catalytic processing of inedible vegetable oils and fats is considered. Different types of inedible feedstocks are described,...
The state of the art chemistry and technology of the manufacture of generation I and II engine fuels from renewable sources such as oils and fats are described. The attention is focused on the...
Based on experimental data, a mathematical description of the kinetics of a catalytic reaction of stearic acid (St) conversion into paraffins was developed for the first time. This reaction is a...
