BIO-OIL UPGRADING OVER HYDROTHERMAL CATALYSTS
Abstract
To improve the fuel characteristics, bio-oil is preceded to modernization which mainly includes hydrotreatment. This work is devoted to the study of the conversion of anisole, as one of the lignin monomers, in the presence of catalysts synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Platinum and palladium catalyst deposited on the polymer matrix of hypercrosslinked polystyrene allowed achieving about 90% of anisole conversion. It was shown that during the conversion of anisole, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, and phenol are the main products. The highest selectivity (approx. 64%) with respect to the phenolic compound was shown by a platinum catalyst supported on hypercrosslinked polystyrene. The palladium catalyst showed lower selectivity for phenolic compound (approx., 56%). Thus, the use of catalysts synthesized by the hydrothermal method in the processing of biomass components is a promising direction for the development of biofuel production technologies.
