Characterization and hydrodeoxygenation properties of Co promoted Ni–Mo–B amorphous catalysts: influence of Co content

Effect of synthesis and activation methods on the character of CoMo/ultrastable Y-zeolite catalysts

The properties of three types of CoMo/USY catalysts with different synthesized methods have been studied. The sequential and co-impregnation methods followed by activation using calcination and reduction process have been conducted. The properties of the catalysts were examined using Fourier-transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) with refinement, and surface area analyzer (SAA). The FTIR spectrum study revealed the enhanced intensity of its Bronsted acid site, and the XRD diffractogram pattern verified the composition of pure metals, oxides, and alloys in the catalyst. The SAA demonstrated the mesoporous features of the catalyst. Scanning electron microscopy showed an irregular particle morphology. Additional analysis using the transmission electron microscopy indicated that the metal has successfully impregnated without damaging the USY structure.

In situ hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin over Ni-Co-P/HAP with formic acid as a hydrogen source

A new noble metal-free Ni-Co-P/HAP (hydroxyapatite) amorphous alloy catalyst was synthesized by an impregnation-chemical reduction method; the structure and properties of the catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, BET, XPS and DSC. Based on the model of the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of vanillin to 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP) with formic acid as a hydrogen source, the catalytic performance of the catalyst was studied. The results found that the Ni-Co-P/HAP catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the in situ HDO reaction of vanillin compared with Ni-P and Ni-Co-P. The conversion of vanillin could be high to 97.86% with MMP selectivity of 93.97% under optimized reaction conditions. In addition, mechanism studies have shown that the side reaction of carbocation and vanillyl alcohol (HMP) condensation can be effectively reduced with increasing the hydrogenation rate, thereby the selectivity of MMP was effectively increased.

Synthesis And Characterization Of CoMo/Mordenite Catalyst For Hydrotreatment Of Lignin Compound Models

The synthesis of CoMo/Mordenite (CoMo/MOR) catalysts was conducted using a co-impregnation method at a various Co/Mo ratios. The produced catalysts were then characterized by X-ray diffraction, total acidity analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The activity of the catalyst in a hydrotreatment reaction was evaluated by applying the catalyst as a reduced-catalyst to the hydrocracking (HC) reaction of anisole molecules. Analysis of the diffraction data using the Le Bail refinement technique showed that the metal phase was successfully impregnated into the MOR. In addition, increasing the metal content resulted in an increase in the acidity of the catalysts and changed the morphology of the catalysts from homogeneous to heterogeneous with larger particle size. According to the data of GCMS, it is known that the catalysts successfully removed methyl group of anisole molecules. Hydrotreatment reaction with the prepared-catalyst produced 4.77% of phenols. It is 122 % higher than the reaction with MOR catalyst.

Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of palmitic acid over a bifunctional Co-doped MoO2/CNTs catalyst: an insight into the promoting effect of cobalt

HDO of palmitic acid into C₁₆ hydrocarbons was successfully achieved over Co doped MoO₂/CNTs catalysts at a much lower temperature. Co could promote the formation of Lewis acidic sites, oxygen vacancies and Mo₂C particles, which are all decisive factors for better catalytic activity.

Effective parameters on selective catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of phenolic compounds of pyrolysis bio-oil to high-value hydrocarbons

Selective hydrodeoxygenation of phenolic compounds present in pyrolysis bio-oil (phenol, cresol, guaiacol and anisole) to high-value hydrocarbons is a great function of catalyst properties and operating conditions.
