Abstract
Hydrodeoxygenation of phenolic components in pyrolysis bio-oil is considered to be a potential strategy for producing renewable aromatic chemicals. The key issue of this process is the establishment of an effective catalytic system that can cleave the CAr–O bonds without affecting the aromatic structure. To achieve this goal, an efficient heterogeneous catalyst with solid acid support (WOx/ZrO2) and active metal (Ru) was prepared in this study. The Ru–WOx/ZrO2 catalyst can effectively convert model phenolic compounds into aromatic hydrocarbons. For a mixed phenolic sample, the conversion to and selectivity for arenes were all around 90%. The good selectivity was proved to be strongly related to the surface adsorption and acid properties of the catalyst as well as the reaction pathway. Moreover, the hydrodeoxygenation of a pretreated bio-oil was also conducted and presented a satisfactory yield of arenes at 240 °C with 1 MPa of H2 reacted for 5 h. The depolymerization of high-molecular-weight phenolic olig...
