  Abstract

Fossil fuels used in the transportation sector are a major cause of severe air and environmental pollution. Furthermore, policies regulating diesel use are being implemented worldwide in order to achieve carbon neutrality. As a result, biofuels are gaining attention as an alternative to diesel. However, research enabling large-scale production is essential for industrial application, and securing efficiency comparable to that of conventional fossil fuels is crucial. In this study, a deoxygenation reaction using oleic acid was conducted to produce hydrocarbon-based biofuels, and changes in the reaction efficiency during the scale-up process were analyzed. Differences in the reaction efficiency were observed when the capacity was increased. In addition, the reaction temperature and reaction time were set as parameters for optimization. Analysis showed that a reaction at 350 oC for 7 hours resulted in the highest conversion (78%), while the selectivity for hydrocarbons (C9 ~ C17) was 30%. Thus, biofuels produced as a result of fuel characteristics analysis have the potential to replace fossil fuels.
