Abstract

The review covers transformations of vegetable oils and fatty acids to jet fuel intensively studied throughout the recent years. A special stress is placed on the liquid product yields and also the product distribution with the latter one touching the fuel properties. Additionally, the specified catalyst properties are summarized. one amongst the most effective results was reportable for Jatropha oil process, giving on top of eighty World Trade Center yield of the liquid section merchandise over nickel supported on H3PW12O40/hydroxyapatite at ca. four hundred °C underneath thirty bar element. vegetable oil hydro conversion was performed in an exceedingly ballroom dance method over Pt/ Al²O³ followed by Pt/HY, at 395°C and 245°C, severally giving fifty four jet fuel parts. Usually additionally alternative merchandise like diesel varies hydrocarbons ar fashioned. Carboxylic acid and organic compound hydro conversion takings at lower temperatures, 255-260°C Over nickel supported catalysts manufacturing on top of five hundredth yield of the aviation sort fuel parts. The specified catalyst contains acid sites with weak and medium strength, little metal particle sizes and mesoporosity that facilitate diffusion of branched alkanes. Reaction dynamics, mechanism and kinetic modeling also are summarized.
