Hydrotreating of tall oils on a sulfided NiMo catalyst for the production of base-chemicals in steam crackers
نویسنده
چکیده
This research thesis validates the potential of tall oil as a renewable feedstock for the production of base-chemicals, especially olefins, as conceived in the thermo-chemical bio-refinery concept. The focus was on the use of hydrotreating and steam cracking technologies with different tall oil feedstocks. Particular advances were accomplished in terms of technology development for high yield of ethylene from a complex and challenging bio-feedstock, such as tall oil.

Wood-derived olefins by steam cracking of hydrodeoxygenated tall oils.
Tall oil fractions obtained from Norwegian spruce pulping were hydrodeoxygenated (HDO) at pilot scale using a commercial NiMo hydrotreating catalyst. Comprehensive two dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) showed that HDO of both tall oil fatty acids (TOFA) and distilled tall oil (DTO) produced highly paraffinic hydrocarbon liquids. The hydrotreated fractions also contained fatty acid methyl e...
متن کاملHydrotreating reactions of tall oils over commercial NiMo catalyst
Catalytic hydrotreating is an attractive method for upgrading bio-derived oils into renewable feedstocks with less oxygen content, suitable for producing valuable hydrocarbons through various petro-refinery processes. This study evaluates the catalytic activity of a commercial alumina (Al2O3) supported NiMo catalyst for hydrotreating tall oil feeds such as crude tall oil (CTO), distilled tall o...

This work presents a simulation approach to the design and economic evaluation of fuel oil hydrotreating processes for the control of SO2 and NOx emission in an Iranian steam power plant. The percent of fuel oil desulphurization was estimated from the SO2 emissions standards for power plants. Based on two different scenarios according to (I) European and (II) Iranian standards, the design and s...
متن کاملHydrogen production via steam reforming of LPG on Ni/Zeolite catalysts
Steam reforming is one of the most important processes for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels such as LPG and has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency and economy. In this study, the LPG steam reforming reaction was investigated on nickel catalysts supported on four various zeolites (H-Y, Na-Y, HZSM5 and Ferrierite). The catalytic tests were performed in a tubular fixed be...
