| Summary: | The current work is devoted to the second-generation biodiesel production via fatty acids catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). Pd-containing catalysts based on polymeric matrix of hypercrosslinked polystyrene (HPS) with different metal loading were investigated in the process. The catalysts were characterized by low-temperature nitrogen physisorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The selectivity of the process (regarding to n-heptadecane) reached up to 99% at 100% conversion. The optimal reaction conditions which allowed achieving high selectivity at 100% of stearic acid conversion were chosen. |
