Abstract

In this study, experiments were conducted to clarify the distribution and decomposition mechanism of product by thermal decomposition of squalene (C30H50) and cracking behavior of squalene by the catalyst. All reactions were carried out in a nitrogen stream at a normal pressure using a flow system reactor and evaluated on a carbon number basis. By investigating thermal decomposition, isoprene (C5H8) was obtained with a selectivity of 84%. Moreover, by using basic oxide catalyst (MgO, ZrO2, CeO2), it was possible to maintain the isoprene selectivity and make the conversion rate about twice (12% → 25%).
