Effect of a Ni-Based Catalyst on Bio-Oil Upgrading under CO Atmosphere

A novel method of bio‐oil upgrading over Ni‐based catalysts under CO atmosphere and optimum conditions for a Ni/Cu/Zn/Al catalyst were determined. The oxygen content as well as the water content decreased significantly and the pH value of upgraded bio‐oil was higher than that of crude bio‐oil. The p...

Description
Summary:A novel method of bio‐oil upgrading over Ni‐based catalysts under CO atmosphere and optimum conditions for a Ni/Cu/Zn/Al catalyst were determined. The oxygen content as well as the water content decreased significantly and the pH value of upgraded bio‐oil was higher than that of crude bio‐oil. The physical properties indicate that upgraded bio‐oil was more stable than crude bio‐oil. An innovative approach of bio‐oil upgrading over a Ni‐based catalyst under CO atmosphere is proposed. Preparation and application of the bifunctional catalyst are described and optimum conditions for this novel method are determined. The physical properties indicate that upgraded bio‐oil exhibits a higher stability as compared to crude bio‐oil.
