由於傳統商用催化劑NiMoS2/γ-Al2O3含有硫，導致產物與環境受到硫汙染。且Pd/C等貴重金屬催化劑，價格太昂貴。因此在這項研究中，主要開發非硫化催化劑的製作，並將棕櫚油轉化為替代氫化柴油（HRD）。首先不同載體（γ-Al2O3與SAPO-11）和金屬（Ni與Mo）的催化劑進行實驗比較。透過不同的溫度、壓力與氫油比，使用GC-MS/FID與GC-TCD，探討液體與氣體產物的組成。並且分析轉化率、選擇性與產率，研究此催化劑最佳的實驗條件。在催化劑失活後，透過鍛燒法再生。使用XRD、TGA、FTIR和氮氣等溫吸附/脫附儀，進行新鮮、失活與再生催化劑的特性分析。最後測試HRD的燃油特性（包括：十六烷值、自燃溫度、閃火點與煙點）。

Because the traditional commercial catalyst NiMoS2/γ-Al2O3 contained sulfur, lead to the product and the environment are polluted by sulfur. In addition, precious metal catalysts such as Pd/C are too expensive. Therefore, in this study, the production of non-sulfide catalysts is mainly developed and palm oil is converted into hydro-processed renewable diesel (HRD). First, the catalysts with different supports (γ-Al2O3 and SAPO-11) and metals (Ni and Mo) are compared in experiments. Through different temperature, pressure, H2-to-oil ratio and weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), using GC-MS/FID and GC-TCD to explore the composition of liquid and gas products. Analyze the conversion rate, selectivity and yield, and study the best experimental conditions for this catalyst. After the catalyst is deactivated, it is regenerated by calcining. Use XRD, TGA, FTIR and Nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm to analyze the characteristics of fresh, deactivated and regenerated catalysts. Finally, test the fuel characteristics of HRD (including: cetane number, autoignition temperature, flash point, and smoke point).
