植物油加氢脱氧反应路径的探究

Oil scarcity,non-renewable resource,unpredictable prices and increasing environmental issues involved with petroleum-based fuels lead to the need for alternative sources to fulfill fuel needs. Industry and transportation, especially air trans-portation, play crucial roles in increasing the emission of greenhouse gases, which cause global warming. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an alternative fuel source that can replace non-renewable fossil fuels. The use of biomass-derived fuels in place of conventional fuels is an emerging field of interest, and studies are on-going to find a solution to avoid a future energy crisis. Hydrodeoxygenation, which converts biofeed to hydrocarbon fuels that have all the qualities of conventional fossil fuels, is one of the most interesting and promising techniques in this field. The hydrodeoxygenation of vegetable oils to biofuel is an area in development.随着世界经济的发展，全球性化石资源日益枯竭以及世界对全球气候的关注，发展可再生环境友好型能源变得十分紧迫。生物燃料是一种新型、清洁的可再生能源。目前越来越人把节能减排的希望寄托在生物燃料方面。植物油燃料因可生物降解、能减少二氧化碳排放，对环境危害程度低，并可以从从可再生资源中获取，受到了人们的广泛关注。植物油燃料有望成为重要的石油产品的替代品[1-3]。

Typical feedstocks for biofuels are vegetable oils with high energy contents.The major content in the vegetable oils is Omega-3 fatty acids.The chain length of fatty acids concentrates in the range of C12~24,植物油中的主要成分是脂肪酸甘油三酯，即一个甘油分子连接三个脂肪酸分子[4]。每个脂肪酸分子的链长度主要集中在C12~24，且大多数是偶数碳。常见植物油的结构如图1所示。一般植物油含碳76~78wt%，含氢11.5~12.5wt%，含氧9~11wt%，密度在0.912~0.924kg/L 之间，分子量在800~960之间。氧含量高是植物油的一大特点，高的氧含量对燃料的热值、安定性等都会产生很大的影响，植物油加氢脱氧是制备生物燃料的一种

植物油加氢脱氧过程包含了多个化学反应，主要有加氢饱和反应、加氢直接脱氧反应、加氢脱羧基反应、加氢脱羰基反应，同时还包括异构化、甲烷化等副反应。加氢脱氧反应主要包括加氢直接脱氧反应、加氢脱羧基反应和加氢脱羰基反应三种反应路径。棕榈油加氢反应途径如图3所示[5]：

The process of vegetable oil hydrodeoxygenation contains a number of reactions.,which including Hydrogenation Saturated reaction、Direct Hydrogenation deoxygenation、Hydrogenation decarboxylation、Decarbonlation reaction of hydrogenation，also included side effects like Isomerization and Methanation. Hydrodeoxygenation reaction is made up of three kinds of reaction route:Direct hydrogenation deoxygenation、Hydrogenation decarboxylation and Decarbonylation reaction of hydrogenation.The palm oil hydrogenation reaction pathway is as illustrated in figure 3.
