title: Petroleum Hydrocarbons: Generation from Fatty Acid.
abstract: In the presence or absence of water, behenic acid generates hydrocarbons during heating at 200 degrees C with bentonite. Without water the ratio of isobutane or isopentane to normal butane or normal pentane is much higher than with water. Besides C(21). and lower n-alkanes, n-alkanes with 22 to 34 carbon atoms are also formed.
