Response optimisation of TiO2-supported bimetallic NiCo catalyst for the cracking and deoxygenation of waste cooking oil into jet-fuel range hydrocarbon fuels under non-hydrogen environment

Waste cooking oil is a sustainable feedstock that can be utilised to produce biojet fuel via the hydrodeoxygenation process. However, the need for hydrogen for the hydrodeoxygenation process incurs high cost. In the present work, a type of bimetallic catalyst that can deoxygenate and selectively cra...
