Abstract

Hydrodeoxygenation of phenol, as model compound of bio-oil, was investigated over Pd catalysts, using formic acid as a hydrogen donor. The order of activity for deoxygenation of phenol with Pd catalysts was found to be: Pd/SiO2 > Pd/MCM-41 > Pd/CA > Pd/Al2O3 > Pd/HY approximate to Pd/ZrO2 ≈ Pd/CW > Pd/HSAPO-34 > Pd/HZSM-5. The good performance of Pd/SiO2 is owing to its proper pore structure and large specific surface area. The high level of Bronsted acid sites in SiO2 also favors the deoxygenation of phenol.
