Synthesis of biokerosene from linseed oil over mesocarbon based catalyst for blending with commercial jet fuel
Abstract
In this report, mesoporous carbon based catalyst derived from wast microalgal biomass – mesocarbon catalyst, was characterized for its mesoporous structure, thermal behavior under nitrogen atmosphere. The structural changes of the catalyst before and after being pelletized by silica-gel was also conducted. These investigations clearly proved its ordered mesoporous channels and good stability for synthesizing biokerosene derived from linseed oil. The synthesis of biokerosen was also investigated through many parameters including temperature, time, catalyst content, molar ratio of methanol/feedstock and stirring speed. After that, the biokerosene was blended with Jet A-1 commercial fuel for considering its potential of application. The results showed that the biokerosene could be easily synthesized under mild conditions and favorably blended with the Jet A-1 fuel. The maximum content of the biokerosene in the blended fuel should be 15% by volume, and this provided the fuel with suitable specifications for the applications in the Jet engines. Methods using for characterizing the catalyst and biokerosene included SAXRD, WAXRD, TG-DSC-MS and GC-MS.
