Production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel by Hydrocracking of n-Heptadecane Using Pt-Supported Y-Zeolite-Al₂O₃ Composite Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: Hydrocracking of fat or Fischer-Tropsch (FT) wax from biomass to produce the jet fuel of sustainable aviation fuel has been one of the key reactions. n-Heptadecane, which is one of the model diesel fractions produced from fat or FT wax, has hardly been used for hydrocracking of hydrocarbon for jet fuel production, while n-hexadecane has often been used as one of the model compounds for this reaction. In the present study, a HY-zeolite (50 wt %, SiO₂/Al₂O₃ = 100)-Al₂O₃ (50 wt %) composite-supported Pt (0.5 wt %) catalyst [0.5Pt/Y(100)35A] was tested for hydrocracking of n-heptadecane using a fixed-bed flow reactor at a H₂ pressure of 0.5 MPa, H₂ flow rate of 300 mL/min, WHSV of 2.3 h^-1
