Microwave-Assisted Liquefaction of Ulva prolifera over -Modified HY Catalyst
Publication: Journal of Energy Engineering
Volume 144, Issue 1
Abstract
The microwave-assisted liquefaction of Ulva prolifera under atmospheric pressure conditions was investigated for an Fe species–modified HY catalyst. The characterization of Fe/HY confirmed that the Fe species existed in the form of and that the framework of HY remained intact. It was also found that the doped distinctly enhanced the total acid sites of the catalyst and thus increased the bio-oil yield from 40.6 to 52.6%. The GC-MS results demonstrated that the application of the solid catalysts facilitated the production of long-chain compounds (octadecanoic acid methyl ester and hexadecyl ester), thus leading to a distinct decrease in the oxygen content of the bio-fuel. Therefore, the obtained -modified HY exhibits the potential for bio-fuel production from Ulva prolifera.
