Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a multi-metallic catalyst system comprising at least one support, and at least one promoter component and an active component comprising at least two metals uniformly dispersed on the support. The present disclosure also provides a process for preparing the multi-metallic catalyst system. Further, the present disclosure provides a process for preparing upgraded fuel from biomass. The process is carried out in two steps. In the first step, a biomass slurry is prepared and is heated in the presence of hydrogen and a multi-metallic catalyst that comprises at least one support, at least one promoter component, and an active component comprising at least two metals to obtain crude biofuel as an intermediate product. The intermediate product obtained in the first step is then cooled and filtered to obtain a filtered intermediate product. In the second step, the filtered intermediate product is hydrogenated in the presence of the multi-metallic catalyst to obtain the upgraded fuel. The fuel obtained from the process of the present disclosure is devoid of heteroatoms such as oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur.

Claim (Index 7):
A process for preparing upgraded fuel from biomass using a multi-metallic catalyst system, said process comprising the following steps:\n a. preparing a biomass slurry by blending algae in water and loading said slurry into a reactor, wherein the amount of said algae in said biomass slurry is in the range of 10% to 30%; b. heating said biomass slurry to a first pre-determined temperature, at a first pre-determined pressure and for a first pre-determined time period in the presence of hydrogen and a multi-metallic catalyst comprising at least one alumina support, at least one promoter component being Phosphorous or Niobium, and an active component being Cobalt and Molybdenum, to obtain an intermediate product comprising crude biofuel; c. collecting, cooling and filtering said intermediate product to obtain a filtered intermediate product; and d. hydrogenating said filtered intermediate product in the presence of said multi-metallic catalyst at a second pre-determined temperature, at a second pre-determined pressure and for a second pre-determined time period to obtain said upgraded fuel.
