Abstract
Processes of pyrolysis and esterification post-treatment of tung oil have been studied. Some reaction conditions of pyrolysis and several kinds of catalysts of esterification were compared. It was found that the fraction distribution of product was modified by pyrolysis and esterification. From the results of SEC, FTIR and GC-MS measurements, the products were determined to consist of alkanes, alkenes and fatty acid methyl ester of short chains and lower average molecular weight. The physical and chemical properties of products were also detected close to those specified for petroleum based fuels.
