The liquid products were submitted to distillation and separated into fractions, according to the distillation temperature, obtaining fractionsphysical–chemically compatible to those specified by petroleumbased fuels.Dandik and Aksoy [7] investigated the pyrolysis of residual sun-flower oil at 400 and 420◦C using sodium carbonate as catalystin a reactor coupled to a fractionation packed column. The yieldand composition of liquid and gaseous products showed a strongdependence on the temperature, column height and catalyst con-tent. It has been observed an increase of liquid hydrocarbons andgas products with increasing catalyst content and temperature.Umakanta et al. [29] investigated the effect of different catalysts(Na2CO3, Ca3(PO4)2and NiO) on the yield of bio crude oil producedby thermochemical liquefaction (TCL) of the microalgae Spirulinaplatensis, using a batch reactor with volumetric capacity of 1.8 L.Na2CO3has shown to be the best catalyst with an yield on bio-crude oil of 51.6% (w/w), which was 29.2% higher than the yieldobtained under non-catalytic conditions and 71% and 50% higherthan the yields obtained by using NiO and Ca3(PO4)2as catalysts,respectively.This work aims the production of light diesel like fractions bythermal catalytic cracking of crude palm oil (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq.)in pilot scale, using sodium carbonate as catalyst, followed by dis-tillation of reactions liquid products (PLO) using a laboratory scalecolumn (Vigreux Column) of three stages.
