Catalytic DeOxygenation of BioOil
University of Kentucky is researching catalysts that process bio-oil into a stable intermediate, so that the logistics costs of moving biomass in the supply chain are minimized. ...
... "To date, the upgrading of bio-oil has been achieved using either hydrotreating, which is not economical, or cracking, which is not currently feasible on a production scale. Therefore, a low severity method for bio-oil deoxygenation is needed. We are examining two alternative concepts aimed at catalytic deoxygenation of bio-oil to a stabilized product, utilizing mild cracking over base catalysts and metal-catalyzed deoxygenation. " ...
