Selective Deoxygenation of Waste Cooking Oil to Diesel-Like Hydrocarbons Using Supported and Unsupported NiMoS₂ Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: This work aimed to study the deoxygenation of two different waste cooking oils (WCOs; palm oil and soybean oil) using alumina (γ-Al₂O₃)-supported and unsupported NiMoS₂ catalysts prepared by the hydrothermal method. The variables evaluated in this study were the reactant concentration, reaction time, and nickel (Ni)/[Ni + molybdenum (Mo)] atomic ratio (0.2 and 0.3) affecting the yield and selectivity of alkane products. The supported NiMo sulfide (NiMoS₂)/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst prepared by impregnation had the drawback of a lack of layers and stacks, so combining the γ-Al₂O₃ with unsupported NiMoS₂ catalysts using a hydrothermal method was evaluated. The main products obtained from the deoxygenatio
