Hydrodeoxygenation of stearic acid over Ni-Mg-Al-O mixed oxide catalysts
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2025.10.126-140
Abstract
The effect of the Ni/Mg molar ratio on the physicochemical and catalytic properties of mixed Ni-Mg-Al-O oxides obtained by heat treatment of layered double hydroxides has been studied. An increase in the nickel content and the catalyst reduction temperature leads to an increase in the degree of nickel reduction and a decrease in its dispersion due to sintering processes occurring at high temperatures. As the Ni/Mg ratio increases, the stearic acid conversion and the yield of C15-C18 hydrocarbons increase. The complete transformation of stearic acid to heptadecane as the main product is provided by the catalyst with the molar ratio Ni/Mg of 3 at 270 ° C and 4 MPa for 5 hours.
