Effect of iron promoter on the microstructures of CuMnZnO catalysts was investigated by N2 physical adsorption (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and temperature-programmed reduction of hydrogen (H2-TPR). Higher alcohols synthesis (HAS) was performed in a fixed bed reactor. The characterization...

A novel reformer with porous ceramic oxygen distribution tube circled by electric wire for inspiring hot electron was designed for auto-thermal reforming of biomass raw fuel gas to produce syngas (H2+CO). The temperature of auto-thermal reformer was nearly uniform due to the excellent...

Impacts of H2/CO ratios on both the bulky and surface compositions of an iron–manganese based catalyst were investigated by XRD, MES, N2-physisorption, XPS and LRS. Fischer–Tropsch (F–T) synthesis performances were studied in a slurry-phase continuously stirred tank reactor. The...

Impacts of K promoter on microstructures of a precipitated Cu–Fe based catalyst were studied by N2-physisorption (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and hydrogen temperature-programmed desorption/reduction (H2-TPD/TPR). Mixed alcohols synthesis (MAS) was...

The main products of lignin degradation are phenolic compounds. It is meaningful to study the processes by which cyclohexane is produced from phenolic compounds via hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), because it could be used as fuel additives, chemical feedstock and solvent. In this work, support...

The hydrotreatment of bio-oil, which obtained from fast pyrolysis of pine sawdust, was investigated over MoNi/[gamma]-Al2O3 catalyst under mild conditions (373 K, 3 MPa hydrogen pressure). Acetic acid was taken as a model compound to investigate the effects of Mo promoter contents and...

This paper presents a new route for biomass derived aviation fuel synthesis by catalytic conversion in aqueous phase. Furfural with the yield of 71% was produced by acid hydrolysis of raw corncob, and hydrogenated to 2-methylfuran with obtaining the yield of 89% over Raney Ni catalyst, both of...

Serious char formation caused by the repolymerization of unsaturated decomposition products is a considerable challenge for current lignin utilization. Here, a novel and efficient base-catalyzed depolymerization and in situ hydrogenolysis process for lignin decomposition and char elimination was...
