A METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF HYDROCARBONS BY INCREASING HYDROCARBON CHAIN LENGTH

摘要

The present invention provides a method for increasing the hydrocarbon chain length. The method comprises feeding a feedstock containing fatty acids and / or fatty acid esters having a hydrocarbon chain length less than C23 into the reaction zone where ketonization is carried out under hydrogen pressure in the presence of a hydrotreating catalyst. The resulting ketones have a hydrocarbon chain length of C24 to C43. The present invention further provides a method for simultaneously producing base oil components and fuel components.
