spinel and mixed metal oxides refractory compositions for thermocatalytic conversion of biomass

摘要

A process for biomass catalytic cracking is described herein. More specifically, the process comprises heating the cellulosic biomass to a conversion temperature in presence of a mixed metal oxide catalyst represented by the formula (X1O).(X2O)a.(X3YbO4), wherein X1, X2 and X3 are alkaline earth elements selected from the group of Mg, Ca, Be, Ba , and mixture thereof, and Y is a metal selected from the group of Al, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cr, Ga, B, La, P and mixture thereof.
