Abstract: Disclosed is a catalyst including metal phosphide for preparation of biodiesel, and a method of preparing biodiesel from feedstock comprising vegetable oil through hydrotreating using the catalyst. When the catalyst including metal phosphide is used as a catalyst for preparation of biodiesel, preparation activity of hydrotreated biodiesel is high even without continuous supply of sulfiding agent, and hydrotreating and isomerization reactions occur at the same time, thus obtaining high-quality hydrotreated biodiesel having a low pour point.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of economically preparing paraffin compounds corresponding to gasoline fuel or lubricating base oil using volatile fatty acids (VFAs) derived from biomass.

Abstract: Provided is a method for reducing the amount of organic acids in a hydrocarbon oil fraction by hydrogenating the organic acids in the hydrocarbon oil fraction under mild conditions. Provided is a new method able to overcome the problem of organic-acid-induced corrosion during the process of distillation, by using hydrogen or a hydrogen-containing mixed gas and a hydrogenation catalyst to subject the organic acids in the hydrocarbon oil fraction to hydrogenation at an appropriate temperature and pressure, thereby converting the same to hydrocarbons and so reducing the amount of organic acids in the hydrocarbon oil fraction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a nano-sized Cu based catalyst and a method of preparing the same including dissolving, in an aqueous solution, a first component comprising a Cu precursor, a second component precursor comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of a transition metal, an alkaline earth metal and a Group IIIb metal, and a third component precursor comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, silica-alumina, magnesia, titania, zirconia and carbon and then performing stirring; precipitating the stirred mixture solution using Na2CO3 and NaOH to form a catalyst precursor precipitate; and washing and filtering the formed catalyst precursor precipitate. Also a method of preparing alcohol is provided, including reacting hydrogen with carboxylic acid including a single acid or an acid mixture of two or more acids derived from a microorganism fermented solution, using the nano-sized Cu based catalyst.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a catalyst for producing biodiesel, including a carrier having water resistance and an active component supported on the carrier and used in a hydrotreating reaction or a decarboxylation reaction. Since the catalyst for producing biodiesel includes a carrier having strong water resistance, the deactivation of the catalyst due to the water produced through a process of producing HBD can be prevented, thus remarkably improving the long term stability of a catalyst.
