Abstract

The study of energy sources that can substitute partially the petroleum has intensified a lot in the last years and, in these studies the biocombustible have  been reaching a notable highlights. In the present work, heterogeneous catalysts micro and mesoporous were studied in the thermal and catalytic pyrolysis reaction of refined soy oil, seeking the bio-oil obtaining. The efficiency of two zeolites was tested (Y and ZSM-5) and of the MCM-41 mesoporous material with and without sulfate in the catalytic pyrolysis of the refined soy oil. The reactions of thermal and catalytic pyrolysis of refined soy oil were driven using a termobalança of Metler under N2 atmosphere and in the temperature range of 30-900 0C. The results obtained through of TG/DTG curves and of the conversion curves indicated that the studied catalysts demonstrated a good catalytic acting for the pyrolysis process when compared with the thermal pyrolysis of the refined soy oil. The decrease in the temperature and in the time of the reaction of catalytic pyrolysis it was influenced by the system pores type of the studied catalysts.
