The significance and challenges of hydrotreatment processes for vegetable oils have recently become apparent, encompassing various reactions like decarbonylation, decarboxylation, and hydrogenation. Heterogeneous noble or transition metal catalysts play a crucial role in these reactions, offering high selectivity in removing oxygen and yielding desired hydrocarbons. Notably, both sulphided and non-sulphided catalysts exhibit effectiveness, with the latter gaining attention due to health and toxicity concerns associated with sulphiding agents. Nickel-based catalysts, such as NiP and NiC, demonstrate specific properties and tendencies in deoxygenation reactions, while palladium supported on activated carbon catalysts shows superior activity in hydrodeoxygenation. Comparisons between the performances of different catalysts in various hydrotreatment processes underscore the need for tailored approaches. Transition metal phosphides (TMP) emerge as promising catalysts due to their cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. Ultimately, there is an ongoing pursuit of efficient catalysts and the importance of further advancements in catalysis for the future of vegetable oil hydrotreatment.
