Abstract
The present invention concerns a catalyst and pre-treatment process for acidic charges consisting of sulfated zirconia and cerium for the production of biofuels, characterized in that the catalyst has greater activity and resistance to deactivation with acidic charges.
Claims20
A method of obtaining a pre-treatment catalyst of acidic raw materials, the method comprising:
- precipitating zirconium hydroxide using a source of zirconium and a base to form a solution;
- adding a porogen to the solution;
- stirring, aging, filtering, and drying the solution to produce a dry material;
- adding a source of cerium and a source of sulfur over the dry material to produce a material mixture;
- calcinating the material mixture;
- optionally, wherein adding the porogen occurs while adding the source of cerium and the source of sulfur, prior to calcinating the material mixture;
- and
- optionally, wherein the method further comprises adding a source of titanium in the form of titanium oxysulfate when adding the source of sulfur, and the source of cerium prior to calcinating the material mixture.

- stirring, aging, filtering, and drying the solution to produce a dry material;
- adding a source of cerium and a source of sulfur over the dry material to produce a material mixture, wherein adding the source of cerium and the source of sulfur is carried out by a method selected from wet spot impregnation, mud impregnation or chemical vapor phase deposition, and
- calcinating the material mixture;
- optionally, wherein adding the porogen occurs while adding the source of cerium and the source of sulfur prior to calcinating the material mixture;
- and
- optionally, wherein the method further comprises adding a source of titanium in the form of titanium oxysulfate when adding the source of sulfur and the source of cerium prior to calcinating the material mixture.
