Abstract
Production of benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX) from bio‐oil can provide basic feedstocks for the petrochemical industry. Catalytic conversion of bio‐oil into BTX was performed by using different pore characteristics zeolites (HZSM‐5, HY‐zeolite, and MCM‐41). Based on the yield and selectivity of BTX, the production of aromatics decreases in the following order: HZSM‐5>MCM‐41>HY‐zeolite. The highest BTX yield from bio‐oil using HZSM‐5 reached 33.1% with aromatics selectivity of 86.4%. The reaction conditions and catalyst characterization were investigated in detail to make clear the optimal operating parameters and the relation between the catalyst structure and the production of BTX.
