  • Performances and kinetic studies of hydrotreating of bio-oils in microreactor

    Creator:
    Attanatho, Lalita
    Abstract:
    Hydrotreating reaction of vegetable oil is an alternative method for the production of renewable biodiesel fuel. This reaction involves conversion of triglycerides into normal alkanes, leads to a deoxygenated and stable product, which is fully compatible with petroleum derived diesel fuel. The hydrotreating process uses hydrogen to remove oxygen from...
