The process of obtaining low molecular weight
C2-C4 olefins, as a result of thermal and thermocatalytic
conversion of cottonseed oil was investigated. The total
content of olefin gases obtained by the thermal conversion
of cottonseed oil in the temperature range of 700-800°C is
57.2-65.2 wt. %. Thermocatalytic conversion of cottonseed
oil on the natural halloysite nanotubes as a catalyst in the
temperature range of 500-800 ° provides the total content
of olefins 10.8-69.2 wt. with increased yield of propylene
and butenes.
