METHOD FOR MAKING HYDROCARBONS BY USING A LIPID DERIVED FROM A BIOLOGICAL ORGANISM AND HYDROTALCITE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method in which a catalytic reaction is used in order to produce hydrocarbons from renewable starting materials derived from biological organisms such as vegetable lipids, animal lipids and lipids extracted from macroalgae and microalgae, and more specifically relates to a method for selectively making a hydrocarbon, which is suitable for gasoline or diesel, by removing the oxygen contained in the starting material without consuming hydrogen. In the present invention, the production takes place by bringing the starting material into contact with hydrotalcite, which constitutes a catalyst, and thereby removing oxygen via a decarboxylation or decarbonylation reaction; and the starting material is one or more such material selected from triglycerides, fatty acids and fatty-acid derivatives obtained from a renewable source of supply originating from a biological organism.
