• Can vegetable oils be converted into jet biofuels?
  • In this regard, the present paper aims to summarize the recent experimental works of upgrading of vegetable oils into jet biofuels, examining various catalytic systems and operating parameters with the aim to highlight the best conditions to maximize the production of jet biofuel.
  • What is the process of hydrotreatment of vegetable oils?
  • The process consists mainly in a pre-treatment of the raw material, a deoxygenation, a hydrocracking/isomerization, and a distillation . Fig. 4. Process diagram for hydrotreatment of vegetable oils . Neste Corporation ld’s, a leading company is accounting for an annual production volume of more than 2 million tons of biofuel.

  • Can metal catalysts convert vegetable oil into hydrocarbon jet biofuels?
  • Metal catalysts supported on activated carbon have proved to be effective for upgrading vegetable oils into hydrocarbon jet biofuels. Silva et al. investigated the conversion of macauba pulp and almond oil under Pd/C, at 300 ¡ãC and different pressures (10 or 19 bar).
  • How does hydrodeoxygenation produce jet biofuel?
  • Chu et al. modeled a hydrodeoxygenation process to produce jet biofuel, based on the fatty acid composition of various feedstocks: Camelina, Carinata and Used Vegetable Oil (UVO); conversion was carried out in a pressurized hydrotreating reactor at 300 ¡ãC and 92 bar, using a nickel-molybdenum (NiMo) catalyst.
  • What are the final products obtained when hydroprocessing vegetable oils?
  • Final products obtained when hydroprocessing most of vegetable oils, include organic liquid product, water and gases (H 2, H 2 S, CO, CO 2, C 3 H 8, CH 4, and other light hydrocarbons), though their distribution could differ according to the process .
