Abstract
The invention provides palladium-catalyzed hydrogenations of bio-oils and certain organic compounds. Experimental results have shown unexpected and superior results for palladium-catalyzed hydrogenations of organic compounds typically found in bio-oils.
Claims17
A method of hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oil, comprising:
- providing a bio-oil;
- providing hydrogen (H2);
- and
- reacting the bio-oil and hydrogen over a catalyst at a temperature of more than 200° C.;
- wherein the catalyst comprises Pd;
- and
- producing a liquid oil from the reaction of the bio-oil and hydrogen.
