Synthesis and Application of Novel NiMoK/TS-1 for Selective Conversion of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters/Triglycerides to Olefins.

ABSTRACT: Methyl palmitate (or triglyceride) was converted into C15 olefin with remarkable selectivity using nickel-molybdenum oxides on the mesoporous titanosilicate support. The olefin has one carbon atom less than the acid portion of the ester. A new catalyst NiMoK/TS-1 was synthesized in which the effect of acidity of supports and molybdenum loading on the decarboxylation conversion along with product selectivity was investigated in methyl palmitate conversion into C15 olefin. The prepared catalysts were analyzed using ammonia-temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and B
