Carbon Number <strong>of</strong> Hydrogenated Palm Oil (<strong>BHD</strong>)<br />

This is thought to be caused by the progression <strong>of</strong> decarbonation in the hydrodeoxygenation<br />

reaction. That is, in the decarbonation reaction, oxygen is eliminated in the form <strong>of</strong> CO 2 , and thus the<br />

carbon number <strong>of</strong> the hydrogenated oil decreases by one, and straight chain hydrocarbons <strong>of</strong> C15 and<br />

C17 are formed (Fig. 2). The proportion <strong>of</strong> C15 and C17 increases as the reaction temperature rises,<br />

that is, decarbonation selectivity increases as the reaction temperature rises in the hydrogenation <strong>of</strong><br />

palm oil. Looking at the effects <strong>of</strong> pressure, we found that decarbonation selectivity increases as<br />

pressure becomes lower (Fig. 3).<br />
