Synthesis of mesoporous Pt@SAPO-11 via in situ encapsulation for the decarboxylation of oleic acid to prepare C8–C17 alkanes

The 1.0 wt% Pt@SAPO-11 catalyst was prepared by an in situ encapsulation method and used to catalyze the decarboxylation of oleic acid to C8–C17 alkanes. A reaction yield of 80.8% was achieved after 4 h at 340 °C.
