Abstract

In the present work, extensive hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) studies with a commercial sulfided CoMo/Al2O3 catalyst were performed on a library of lignin model compounds at 50bar hydrogen pressure and 300° C in dodecane, using a batch autoclave system. The catalyst was activated under hydrogen atmosphere prior to the reaction, and the spent catalyst was analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis. An extended reaction network is ...
