Researchers at Henan Polytechnic University in China have hydrotreated the oil derived from hydrothermal liquefaction of scrap tyres (STO) with waste engine oil (WEO) using five different activated carbon-supported noble metal catalysts—Pd/C, Pt/C, Ru/C, Ir/C, and Rh/C—for the production of liquid fuels.
Chinese Research Blends Engine and Tyre Oil to Create Diesel
In a paper in the journal Fuel, they report that among the catalysts, Rh/C showed the highest performance for sulphur removal from the resulting upgraded oil (UPO). With Rh/C, the effects of other reaction parameters, such as...
