Acidity Regulation of Ni-Fe/ZSM-5 Catalysts for Enhanced Lipids Deoxygenation toward Renewable Diesel Production

Key Points

• The study aims to explore how varying the acidity of Ni-Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts influences the deoxygenation of lipids to produce renewable diesel.
• Fabricated Ni-Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts with different Si/Al molar ratios.
• Conducted catalytic deoxygenation experiments to assess the performance of the catalysts.
• Higher acidity in Ni-Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts improved lipid deoxygenation efficiency.
• Optimal Si/Al molar ratio led to increased hydrocarbon yield, supporting renewable diesel production.
