PROCESS FOR THE CONVERSION OF FATTY ACIDS AND DERIVATIVES THEREOF

摘要

The invention provides a process for the production of a hydrocarbon product comprising contacting a feedstock with a catalyst composition comprising an active metal selected from platinum, palladium, nickel, cobalt, copper, ruthenium, rhodium and rhenium and an active porous material which is active for the isomerisation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, characterised in that the feedstock comprises a fatty acid, a fatty acid ester, a monoglyceride, a diglyceride or a triglyceride.
