Abstract
A process for producing a hydrocarbon from biomass. A feed stream having free fatty acids, fatty acid esters or combinations thereof is provided. The feed stream is heated in the presence of a first catalyst to produce a partially hydrodeoxygenated stream. The partially hydrodeoxygenated stream is heated in the presence of a second catalyst to produce an effluent stream containing the hydrocarbon.
Claims16
A process for producing a hydrocarbon from biomass, comprising the steps of:
- providing a feed stream containing biomass having free fatty acids, fatty acid esters, or combinations thereof;
- heating the feed stream in the presence of a monometallic molybdenum catalyst to produce a partially hydrodeoxygenated stream;
- and
- heating the partially hydrodeoxygenated stream in the presence of a second catalyst to produce an effluent stream containing the hydrocarbon.
1 more element

- cracking a triglyceride into at least one fatty alcohol and at least one diester in the presence of a monometallic molybdenum catalyst;
- and
- hydrodeoxygenating the at least one fatty alcohol and the at least one diester into at least one hydrocarbon.
