One-step hydrotreatment process for conversion of vegetable oils to renewable diesel and LPG

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Japan and Mexico have developed a one-step hydrotreatment process over catalysts containing Ni-Mo and solid acids for the conversion of vegetable oils (Jatropha, palm and canola) to renewable diesel and LPG fuels. 10 °C by converting some C 15 –C 18 n -paraffins to iso -paraffins and light paraffins on SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3.

Conversely, high coating thicknesses for the electrodes produce a high energy density. Hydrogen is supplied to the anode, where it is broken down into protons and electrons. The four hydrogen tanks of the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro are located beneath the base of the trunk, in front of the rear axle, in the center tunnel.
