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.
Claims15
A product mixture made from a method 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.
4 more elements
A method of hydrogenation of furfural, guaiacol, or a substituted guaiacol, comprising:
- providing a liquid comprising furfural, guaiacol or a substituted guaiacol;
- providing hydrogen (H2);
- and
- reacting the furfural, guaiacol, or a substituted guaiacol with hydrogen over a catalyst at a temperature of more than 200° C.;
- wherein the catalyst comprises at least 1 weight % Pd;
- and
- converting the furfural, guaiacol or substituted guaiacol to a hydrogenated product.
