Abstract
The co-hydroconversion of lauric acid and anisole was carried out over Ni and NiMo catalysts T=260 and 280 °C and pH2=40 bar. Ni/Al2O3 demonstrated a high activity in converting anisole to cyclohexane, but lauric acid conversion was suppressed over this catalyst. In the co-conversion of their mixture the phenolic had no effect on the conversion of the acid, but the latter prevented the cleavage of the C-O bond in both anisole and reaction intermediates. It was assumed that the successful conversion of anisole in its mixture with lauric acid required that a catalyst should provide the fast consumption of the acid component. Accordingly, NiMo/Al2O3 possessed a high activity in lauric acid conversion, and a high cyclohexane yield from anisole was observed after the complete consumption of the acid. The results of the present study can be useful for the rational design of a catalyst for the effective hydroconversion of bio-oil.
