Objectives
The main goal of writing this literature review is the conversion of vegetable oil in
hydrocarbon in these terms-
 Hydroprocessing.
 Pyrolysis.
 Cracking.
 Hydrolysis then de-carboxylation.
About the literature
3 | P a g e

At most research of the literature is focussed onvproducing of biodiesel one supplement of
petroleum based diesel. This process is done in four steps- hydroprocessing, pyrolysis,
catalytic cracking and decarboxylation. The process is compared on the base of ability of
producing bio fuels that is used in spark ignition engine. As a biofuel feedstock, the edible
oils have been investigated that is compared with sources of food so we need to switch to non
edible oils. By the mega research, this is clear that transesterification is not adequate on its
own. The process Hydrocracking is an ideal solution because it can produce together high
quality bio jet fuel and bio gasoline using single catalyst.
