Abstract

Stearic acid hydrodeoxygenation into n-heptadecane on the catalyst containing Pd nanoparticles incorporated in the hypercrosslinked polystyrene matrix was studied. The used catalysts were characterized using TEM, CO chemisorption, low-temperature nitrogen physisorption and XPS. A clear hydrogen pressure dependent induction period was noticed. Kinetic regularities were studied for the indicated reaction in the presence of polymer based catalysts. A mathematical model for decarboxylation was suggested which was able to adequately describe experimental data at different temperatures, hydrogen pressures and initial concentrations of stearic acid. Kinetic constants were calculated and their statistical analysis was performed.
