Abstract
Processes for the production of linear alkylbenzenes from a renewable feedstock. Prior to converting the side chains of the glycerides and free fatty acids of the feedstock into hydrocarbons, the feedstock is separated into a stream rich in Cand Cfree fatty acids glycerides having Cand Cfatty acid side chains and at least one, preferably two, other glyceride streams. The stream rich in glycerides having Cand Cfatty acid side chains can be converted via deoxygenation into a stream rich in Cto Chydrocarbons while the other glyceride streams can be used as vegetable oil. A Cto Chydrocarbon fraction from the stream rich in Cto Chydrocarbons may be dehydrogenated to form olefins which may be reacted with benzene to form linear alkylbenzenes. The linear alkylbenzenes may be used to produce surfactants.
