Bio-jet fuel range alkanes were prepared by catalytic deoxygenation reaction of non-edible acid oils with no added hydrogen. A WOx[6]/Pt[1.6]/TiO2 was used for the deoxygenation of stearic acid and Jatropha fatty acid derived from Jatropha oil by hydrolysis. Tungsten addition to the Pt/TiO2 showed r...
