Abstract
Presented are one or more aspects and/or one or more embodiments of catalysts, methods of preparation of catalyst, methods of deoxygenation, and methods of fuel production.
Claims17
A method of deoxygenating oxygenated hydrocarbons, the method comprising:
- providing a catalyst comprising a porous substrate and an electrolessly deposited catalytically effective nanoscale metal coating on the substrate;
- contacting the catalyst with the oxygenated hydrocarbons and hydrogen so as to accomplish hydrogenation and deoxygenation wherein the deoxygenation is accomplished preferentially by decarbonylation and decarboxylation over hydrodeoxygenation.
