Abstract
The feasibility of using vegetal feedstock pyrolysis products to produce motor-fuel components is examined. Results from pyrolysis of fatty-acid salts obtained by saponification of sunflower, rape, and linseed oils by various alkalis are presented. It is shown that the maximum pyrolysate yield is achieved at 500°C and is up to 52-55 wt%. The pyrolysate cannot be used directly as a fuel additive without further hydrofining because of the large amount of oxygenated compounds in it.
