Catalytic Cracking of Triglycerides on [alpha]-FeOOH Nanoparticles

Nanoparticles of [alpha]-FeOOH with diameter 9.0 ± 0.8 nm catalyze the cracking of vegetable oil triglycerides to give motor fuel components in the temperature range 300-450 °C. The greatest amount of normal alkanes and least amount of oxygen-containing compounds are found in the liquid product mixt...

Summary:Nanoparticles of [alpha]-FeOOH with diameter 9.0 ± 0.8 nm catalyze the cracking of vegetable oil triglycerides to give motor fuel components in the temperature range 300-450 °C. The greatest amount of normal alkanes and least amount of oxygen-containing compounds are found in the liquid product mixture at 400 °C. The major products are components of the gasoline and diesel fractions.
