New pathway for liquid hydrocarbon fuels from fatty acids
Source : greencarcongress.com
Researchers from the University of Michigan and Zhejiang University (China) are developing a new pathway - catalytic hydrothermal decarboxylation - to produce liquid hydrocarbon (i.e., "drop-in") transportation fuel components from fatty acids. The latest report on their work was published in the journal ChemSusChem. As described in the paper, the team of Jie Fu, Xiuyang Lu, and Phillip Savage converted five different fatty acids prevalent in nature - stearic, palmitic, lauric, oleic, and linoleic - to alkanes over a commercial 5% Pt/C catalyst in high-temperature water (330°C). The reactions were done with no added hydrogen, in contrast to the processes that have adapted petroleum hydrotreatment technology to convert triglycerides and fatty acids into hydrocarbons.
