Waste oil, like waste cooking and acidic oil, are two promising carboxylic acids feedstocks that can be converted into hydrocarbons by the pyrolytic method, usually through DCO 2 and DCO processes. DFT is employed to investigate the deoxygenation mechanism using octanoic acid as a model compound in this work. Additionally, pyrolysis of the above samples was carried out at atmospheric pressure, temperature below 773.15K. GC-MS, GC and TG-FTIR-MS test measures were used to analyze pyrolytic products. The DFT results reveal that pyrolysis conversion of waste oil was a direct and effective deoxygenation method. And high alkene content endowing pyrolytic oil greatly potential to upgrade for high-quality biofuel production. Finally, pyrolytic oil was upgraded by SAPO-11-Pd/C can increase the components of iso-hydrocarbons, further can faction cut to obtain three biofuel fractions. Fraction blending with fuels could decrease the cold filter plugging point of final fuels, dramatically improving the commercial value of pyrolytic oil and effectively solving the waste oil disposal problem. [Display omitted] • Deoxygenation mechanisms investigated by experiments analysis and DFT calculation. • Pyrolysis technology reagard as an efficient pretreatment method for wast oil deoxygenation. • Pyrolytic oil was upgraded by SPAO-11-Pd/C can increase the iso-hydrocarbons content.
