Deoxygenation of beef fat for the production of hydrogenated biodiesel is investigated in a high pressure continuous flow fixed bed reactor over palladiumsupported mesoporous titania catalyst synthesized via a combined singlestep solgel process with surfactantassisted templating method (SATM). The catalyst possessed a mesoporous charactheristic with high surface area and narrow pore size distribution. The main products of all PdTiO2 catalysts are nheptadecane (nC17) and npentadecane (nC15) resulting from decarbonylation reaction. PdTiO2 catalyst synthesized via a combined singlestep solgel process with SATM (SSSG) gave higher activity and selectivity to the desired products when compared to IWISGTiO2 and IWIP25TiO2, respectively. SSSG catalyst gave the average conversion up to 8090 and 80 for the selectivity in diesel range hydrocarbons. This result may cause by the higher surface area and the ability in dispersion of palladium ion in mesoporous of TiO2 during solgel process.
