✦ Synopsis
The pyrolysis reactions of soybean, palm tree, and castor oils were studied. The pyrolytic products were analyzed by CG-FID, CG-MS, and FTIR, showing the formation of olefins, paraffins, carboxylic acids, and aldehydes. The adequate choice of distillation temperature (DT) ranges made it possible to isolate fuels with physical-chemical properties comparable to those specified for petroleum based fuels. The catalytic upgrading of the soybean pyrolytic fuel over HZSM-5 zeolite at 400 • C was also studied and has shown a partial deoxygenation of the pyrolytic products.

Because of the worldwide current strongly rising oil and fat production rates there are needed already in the near future new and easy to handle application possibilities for large throughputs of oils and fats. One of these is their use as diesel fuel alternatives in the form of their methylesters.
