Abstract

The conversion of soybean oil to green diesel was carried out on Pt/SAPO-11-Al₂O₃ catalyst in a trickle-bed reactor. Steady-state operation was reached after about 150 h. The steady-state performance was recorded at 375-380 C, 30 atm and LHSV = 1 h^-1. The green diesel produced in this study was characterized according to ASTM procedures by a certified lab. Most of its properties were found to fit the standard of qualified diesel fuel (European standard EN-590) making it an excellent component for diesel fuel blends.
