Bio-Hydrocarbons through Catalytic Pyrolysis of Used Cooking Oils: towards sustainable jet and road fuels

摘要

1. Catalytic conversion through pyrolysis of UCO was performed at 500℃ with 4 different catalysts (WHSV = 4 h~1). 2. The best result (CAT n.1) gave 63.6 %_(wt)of bio-oil, with lower O_2, density, viscosity and higher HV than original feedstock. 3. By increasing catalyst mass, no significant changes in terms of bio-oil yield were observed, but larger amount of HCs classes were detected (from 24 to 35%wt of recovered bio-oil). 4. Distillation fractions in the range of kerosine showed promising properties (HC, composition).
