Method of making biodiesel with good low-temperature performance from palm oil

摘要

Disclosed is a method of producing biodiesel having good low-temperature fluidity from palm oil. Palm biodiesel (or palm fatty acid) obtained from palm oil is separated into C16 palm biodiesel (or C16 palm fatty acid) and C18 palm biodiesel (or C18 palm fatty acid) through distillation and the C16 palm biodiesel (or C16 palm fatty acid) fraction poor in low-temperature fluidity is converted into C15/C16 paraffins through hydrotreating.
