Abstrakt: ABSTRACTThe catalytic effect of magnesium and magnesium–zinc or copper(II), iron(III), aluminium(III), chromium(III) metal combination on ratio of the alkane to 1-alkenes and carbon number distribution in the green diesel product from metal basic soaps’ decarboxylation has been studied. Palm stearin was chosen as a model compound to produce metal basic soaps. Batch decarboxylation of metal basic soap was conducted at 350°C and atmospheric pressure for 3 h. Ratio of alkane to 1-alkene at the green diesel product was found following this order: Mg–Fe (14.6%) > Mg–Al (11.8%) > Mg–Cu (10.1%) > Mg–Zn (4.7%) > Mg–Cr (3.1%) > Mg (2.9%). Mg–Fe metal combination was preferable because it has high selectivity to alkane and capable of suppressing the 1-alkane formation during the metal basic soap decarboxylation process.
