Towards Quantitative Conversion of Microalgae Oil to Diesel‐Range Alkanes with Bifunctional Catalysts
Abstract
Diesel oil from microalgae oil: An approach for selective conversion of crude microalgae oil to diesel-range alkanes is reported using Ni nanoclusters supported on zeolite catalysts (see picture). The cascade of catalyzed reactions for microalgae oil conversion is based on a metal-catalytic function for the integrated hydrogenolysis, hydrogenation, and decarbonylation as well as an acid-catalytic function for dehydration and isomerization.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
