Hydrodeoxygenation of microalgae oil to green diesel over Pt, Rh and presulfided NiMo catalysts

The catalytic characteristics, activity and selectivity of 1% Pt/Al ₂ O ₃ , 0.5% Rh/Al ₂ O ₃ and presulfided NiMo/Al ₂ O ₃ catalysts have been investigated in the hydrodeoxygenation of microalgae ( Nannochloropsis salina ) oil to produce green diesel in a microreactor.
