Abstract

Sulfided and reduced Co-Mo-La/γAl2O3 were prepared and examined as catalysts in the selective deoxygenation of waste chicken fat (WCF) to produce gas oil–like hydrocarbons. The effect of reaction conditions was investigated in terms of reaction temperature, reaction pressure, and liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV). The results revealed that the hydrodeoxygenation reaction is favored over the sulfided Co-Mo-La/γAl2O3, while the decarbonylation and decarboxylation reactions are favored over the reduced Co-Mo-La/γAl2O3. It was found that the use of lower LHSV and higher pressure suppresses the decarbonylation and decarboxylation reactions, and consequently the generation of CO and CO2 is minimized. The results also showed that the reduced Co-Mo-La/γAl2O3 catalyst consumes higher amounts of hydrogen, which can be attributed to the methanation reaction, and thus, the composition of the product is heavily dependent on the initial H2 pressure, temperature, and LHSV as well.
