| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, novel catalysts composed of metal species and zeolite has been synthesized to apply them to the hydroconversion of fatty acid esters to liquefied fuels. When metal species (nickel and molybdenum) were supported on zeolite which was treated with an acidic aqueous solution, the metal species were agglomerated to form large particles. By contrast, zeolite which was treated with a basic aqueous solution resulted in the formation of small metal particles. These results suggest that the morphology of metal particles can be controlled by the acid properties of zeolite.
In the hydroconversion of fatty acid esters over composite catalysts, the treatment of zeolite with acidic or basic solutions resulted in improving the catalytic performance. Furthermore, when the treated zeolite was used as a part of the composite catalysts, all of the fatty acid structure of fatty acid esters was transformed to liquefied fuels.
