The invention relates to a method for
grease to be decarbonylated into long-chain
alkane under a
hydrogen-free condition. One or more of long-chain
fatty acid or / and
fatty acid ester, animal and vegetable fats and oils, aqueous algal oil and waste
cooking oil are used as raw materials, a carrier which contains Ca is loaded with Pt and used as a
decarbonylation catalyst, carboxyls are removed though the
decarbonylation, and thus the long-chain
alkane is generated. The method is simple in process and high in
operational safety, sources of the raw materials are wide, and the investment costs of devices and the raw materials are reduced. Green and reproducible
grease is used as the
raw material, and usage of fossil energy is avoided, so that the method accords with green and environmental-friendly concepts. A catalytic reaction is conducted under the
hydrogen-free condition, and the carrier with Ca promotes adsorption and activation of
grease molecules, so that the
decarbonylation efficiency is greatly improved, and the aim of preparing the long-chain straight-chain
alkane from the grease through the decarbonylation at a lower temperature under the
hydrogen-free condition can be achieved.
