An essential step in improving biofuels, especially those made from biomass, is hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). HDO’s primary goal is to eliminate oxygen atoms from the biofuel feedstock in the form of water, which enhances the fuel’s energy density, stability, and compatibility with current fuel.This study uses a large surface area catalyst to investigate the hydrodeoxygenation (HDOx) activity of non-edible oils. In addition to other supports including H-USY and MCM-41, large surface area catalyst Co/Pt-HZSM-5 was used to comprehensively analyze and compare the HDOx activity. Reverse order impregnation was used to construct Co-Pt bimetal supported over mesoporous HZSM-5, which facilitated HDOx of non-edible oils. Methods including BET and TPD were employed to analyze and describe the catalysts that were generated. The HDOx roles for the preparation of long-chain, saturated hydrocarbons in a fixed bed high-pressure stainless- steel reactor operating between 290℃ and 370°C and a hydrogen pressure of 10–50 bar were significantly impacted by the synthesized catalysts. High amounts of H2 consumption, acidity, and texture were found in Co/Pt-HZSM-5. The relationship between structure and activity was examined and distribution of products were overviewed. Even if there are still issues with catalyst deactivation and hydrogen consumption, this study will support continued research and technological developments to improve the viability and efficiency of HDO in the manufacture of biofuels.

Keywords: Biofuels; hydrodeoxygenation; castor oil; hydrocarbons; non- edible oil.
