The
ZnCl<sub>2</sub>–KCl molten salt mixture was used as
the catalyst in soybean oil pyrolysis. The thermogravimetric (TG)
experiments showed that the reaction pathway of soybean oil pyrolysis
could be changed in the presence of molten salts. Moreover, the catalytic
pyrolysis experiments were conducted in a laboratory-scale continuous
stirred tank reactor (1.5 L). CaO was added to the molten salt mixture
as a basic catalyst. The influence of the reaction temperature along
with the CaO catalyst on molten salt pyrolysis of soybean oil was
studied. The data of non-catalytic pyrolysis was also listed to explain
the roles of molten salts and CaO catalyst. The results revealed that
the ZnCl<sub>2</sub>–KCl molten salt mixture had a unique performance
in producing diesel-like fuels. The hydrocarbons were the main part
of the bio-oil, which accounted for more than 80 wt %. The acid value
was 3.9 mg of KOH/g at 40 g (5 wt % to the 800 g molten salt mixture)
of CaO catalyst.
