A novel hydrodeoxygenation catalytic system, Ni2P/SBA-15, has been synthesized by temperature-programmed reduction of a nickel phosphate precursor impregnated in the mesostructured silica support. The formation of this active phase was verified by X-ray diffraction, whereas the study by transmission electron microscopy revealed that the catalyst is mainly constituted of nickel phosphide particles of relatively uniform size dispersed within the SBA-15 channels. Both Ni2P/SBA-15 and a reference Ni/SBA-15 catalyst were tested for the hydrodeoxygenation of methyl oleate (C17H33–COO–CH3) in a fixed-bed continuous flow reactor. This compound was used as a convenient surrogate of triglyceride molecules present in vegetable oils that following catalytic hydrotreating yields n-alkanes as the main products. In the whole range of pressure studied (3–40 bar) and for temperatures higher than 290 °C, both systems achieve more than 80% ester conversion at 20 h–1 WHSV, although the Ni/SBA-15 catalyst presents a slightly ...
