Solvent-Free Hydrodeoxygenation of Triglycerides to Diesel-like Hydrocarbons over Pt-Decorated MoO Catalysts.

In the present work, the solvent-free hydrodeoxygenation of palm oil as a representative triglyceride model compound to diesel-like hydrocarbons was evaluated in a batch reactor using Pt-decorated MoO catalysts. The catalysts with various Pt loadings (0.5-3%) were synthesized by an incipient wetness impregnation method.
