X-RAY ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY OF SUPPORTED PALLADIUM CATALYSTS DURING HYDRODEOXYGENATION OF PHENOL IN WATER

摘要

The conversion of biomass into energy carriers always involves reactions in the presence of water, either as a solvent or a product. For example, Chen et al., have reported the quantitative conversion of aqueous mixtures of bio-derived phenolic compounds to saturated hydrocarbons and alcohols using combined metal and acid catalysts. This reaction sequence, shown in Scheme 1, represents a prototypic chemical transformation of lignin-derived phenols to a component of a transportation fuel.
