油棕在马来西亚广泛种植。棕榈油已经吸引了研究人员的注意力，以开发一种“环保”和高品质的燃料，不含氮和硫。在常压提升管反应器中，对棕榈油在REY催化剂上催化裂解制生物燃料进行了研究。研究了反应温度（400-500 ℃）、催化剂/棕榈油比（5-10）和停留时间（10-30 s）对生物汽油和作为燃料的气体产率的影响。实验设计用于研究操作变量对棕榈油转化率和烃燃料产率的影响。采用响应面法确定了最佳操作参数值，以获得液体产物中生物汽油馏分的最大收率。(C)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Oil palm is widely grown in Malaysia. Palm oil has attracted the attention of researchers to develop an 'environmentally friendly' and high quality fuel, free of nitrogen and sulfur. In the present study, the catalytic cracking of palm oil to biofuel was studied over REY catalyst in a transport riser reactor at atmospheric pressure. The effect of reaction temperature (400-500 degrees C), catalyst/palm oil ratio (5-10) and residence time (10-30 s) was studied over the yield of bio-gasoline and gas as fuel. Design of experiments was used to study the effect of operating variables over conversion of palm oil and yield of hydrocarbon fuel. The response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum value of the operating variables for maximum yield of bio-gasoline fraction in the liquid product obtained. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
