Bifunctional Co-W catalysts with variable Co-W dosages on silica-alumina (SA) were prepared and tested for the catalytic deoxygenation-cracking of tung oil (TO) for the production of jet fuel (n-(C10-C16)) fractions. The CoW/SA catalyst appeared to be most active (hydrocarbon yield = 69%, jet fuel s...
