Production of Green Jet Fuel From Edible and Non-Edible Oils

A surrogate of jet fuel range hydrocarbons was produced from renewable feedstock such as Camelina oil, palm oil and the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME’s) derived from these oils. The process includes two steps involving hydrocracking and reforming in presence of the catalyst. This work involves the different reaction conditions by taking temperature, pressure, time of reaction and amount of catalyst as variable parameters. In this work bi-functional catalysts NiMo and CoMo supported on g-alumina were used along with an industrial catalyst. For this work bi-functional catalysts are prepared and used in the production of jet fuel. The feedstock, intermediate product and final product were analyzed by using ATR-FTIR, SEM-EDS, TGA and GC-MS. For analyzing the catalyst properties XRD, SEM-EDS and ASAP were used
