The application discloses a kind of
continuous flow photocatalytic
decarboxylation preparation biological
hydrocarbon method, belong to the technical field of
biofuel preparation.The method includes the following steps:
high fatty acid compound,
hydrogen atom transfer catalyst and
acridine photocatalyst are dissolved in
organic solvent, and
mixed solution is obtained;The
mixed solution is passed into circulating
continuous flow light reactor, and photocatalytic
decarboxylation reaction is carried out at
room temperature for 12-24 hours, and reaction liquid is obtained;Reaction liquid is separated by reduced pressure
distillation, and the biological
hydrocarbon compound after
decarboxylation is obtained.The application uses
continuous flow light reactor to strengthen
mass transfer and
heat transfer efficiency, solves the problem that
light penetration depth is limited in traditional batch photoreactor, and reaction is not uniform;
Metal-free catalytic
system is used, and the use of
noble metal and potential
residual risk is avoided.The method has mild reaction condition, higher product yield, good
atom economy, and for unsaturated
high fatty acid, olefin configuration can be maintained before and after decarboxylation, and has good industrial application prospect.
