Different ratios of Si/Al of the catalysts impacted hydroisomerization of FAMEs.
Alkane selectivity was optimal in Si/Al = 25, 280 °C, 0.8 MPa, LHSV = 4 h−1, H2/oil = 15.
88.2% of C5–C18 alkanes = 8% gasoline alkane + 32.5% jet alkane + 47.7% diesel alkane.
Decarboxylation/decarbonylation was favored at high temperature, low H2 pressure.
The catalyst can run 80 h and was caused deactivation by the carbon deposition.
