Deoxygenation of palmitic and stearic acid over supported Pd catalysts: Effec…

Abstract. Catalytic deoxygenation of palmitic and stearic acids mixture was studied over four synthesized Pd catalysts supported on synthetic carbon (Sibunit) in a semibatch reactor and dodecane as a solvent at 260–300 8C. The catalysts were prepared by precipitation deposition method using Pd chlorides as metal precursors. All catalysts contained 1 wt.% Pd, however, the metal dispersion …
