Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to report the development of a new catalytic cracking process (together with novel catalysts and optimum experimental conditions) for the upgrading of wax feeds derived from a biomass to liquid (BTL) process, to produce high-quality biofuels. Two types of wax feedstocks were used in this study. These two feeds were highly paraffinic with hydrocarbons up to C40. Commercial and novel catalysts were tested using a bench scale fixed bed unit. The investigation of wax catalytic cracking showed that this is a very promising process for wax upgrading and that it is highly influenced by the type of catalyst and by the process conditions used.
