© 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry. The effect of Sn promoter on a Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst towards the catalytic activity and catalyst stability via the deoxygenation of stearic acid for the production of diesel-range hydrocarbons has been investigated herein. The decarboxylation (DCO2) and decarbony...
