Hierarchically structured catalysts for cascade and selective steam reforming/hydrodeoxygenation reactions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Dec 4;51(93):16617-20. doi: 10.1039/c5cc07244a. Epub 2015 Oct 13.

Abstract

We report a hierarchically structured catalyst with steam reforming and hydrodeoxygenation functionalities being deposited in the micropores and macropores, respectively. The catalyst is highly efficient to upgrade the pyrolysis vapors of pine forest product residual, resulting in a dramatically decreased acid content and increased hydrocarbon yield without external H2 supply.
