Ni/Co-Natural Clay as Green Catalysts for Microalgae Oil to Diesel-Grade Hydrocarbons Conversion
Abstract
The Ni/Co-natural clay catalysts have been prepared for the conversion of algae oil into diesel-grade hydrocarbons. Methyl oleate was used as a model compound for the present study. Ni/clay catalyst promotes decarboxylation/decarbonylation, whereas remarkable selectivity in hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is achieved with Co/clay catalysts. Powder XRD and DRS studies of substrate mixed catalysts reveal a more prominent adsorption of substrate molecules over the Ni surface, which results in low HDO selectivity of nickel catalysts by surpassing the essential contribution of acidic sites. The HDO process provides higher carbon atom economy and energy value over decarboxylation/decarbonylation, while further reducing the formation of greenhouse gases such as CO 2 and CH 4 . Total yield of saturated hydrocarbons from algae oil was 84–86 wt % with similar selectivity. The HDO rates of different fatty acids present in algae oil were independent of the fatty acid chain length. The catalysts are cost-effective and recyclable, and metal leaching during hydroprocessing is less than 1 ppm in all cases. This process is advantageous in terms of metal-to-substrate ratio, use of solvents and their concentration, and comparable HDO selectivity over the previously reported catalysts. A hydroprocessing reaction was also performed under solvent free conditions, which could be useful in industrial applications of this approach.

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.
