Abstract
It is provided solid, heterogeneous catalysts for the deoxygenation of esters of free fatty acids and triglycerides, and for the production of hydrocarbons that can be used as biofuels. More particularly, the catalyst comprises at least one metal oxide, the catalyst having a formula AlaCubNicSidTieZnfZrgLahCeiWjSnkGalFemMOnMnoCOpOx, wherein a, b, c, d, g, h, i, j, k, l, m n, o, p and x are the molar ratios of the respective elements, wherein a, b, c, d, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o and p are >0, e, f and g are >0 and x is such that the catalyst is electrically neutral.
Claims21
A catalyst comprising at least three metal oxides having a formula AlaCubNicSidTieZnfZrgLahCeiWjSnkGalFemMOnMnoCOpOx, wherein a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m n, o, p and x are molar ratios for the respective elements, wherein a, b, c, d, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o and p are ≥0, e, f and g are >0 and x is such that the catalyst is electrically neutral, and the catalyst is substantially free of any one of Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir, and Rh.
