Abstract
Hydrogen donors were employed to replace pure hydrogen as a hydrogen source for in-situ gas phase HDO due to their low storage and transportation cost. A series of catalysts have been prepared by modifying the zeolite HZSM-5 with polymetallic and multi-carriers. Gas-phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol was conducted under a pressure 2 MPa and a temperature at 350 °C. The effect of polymetallic and multi-carrier modification on HDO activity was investigated. The physicochemical properties of catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, H2-TPR, XPS and NH3-TPD. The characterization results showed that when La was loaded, the catalyst Ni/HZSM-5&La obtained a stronger medium-strong acidity. The electronic transfer of the elemental nickel was promoted. After HDO, the catalyst Ni/HZSM-5&La exhibited the highest HDO rate and BTX selectivity, reaching 97.79% and 34.25%, respectively. The real bio-oil HDO under a hydrogen donor were also analyzed. The results showed the content of the hydrocarbon compound were over 95%. The reaction mechanism was discussed through the distribution of liquid product species. Direct demethoxylation pathway (DMO) and methylation pathway (ME) were considered as the main pathways.
