Effect of ethanedioic acid functionalization on Ni/Al2O3 catalytic hydrodeoxygenation and isomerization of octadec-9-enoic acid into biofuel: Kinetics and Arrhenius parameters

The effect of ethanedioic acid (EdA) functionalization on Al2O3 supported Ni catalyst was studied on the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), isomerization, kinetics and Arrhenius parameters of octadec-9-enoic acid (OA) into biofuel in this report. This was achieved via synthesis of two catalysts; the first, n...
