SELECTIVE CATALYTIC DEOXYGENATION OF BIOMASS AND CATALYSTS THEREFOR

摘要

This invention provides new, effective pyrolysis catalysts adapted for use in pyrolysis of biomass, to the preparation of such catalysts, and to the use of such catalysts in the pyrolysis of biomass in the absence of added air, added molecular oxygen, and added molecular hydrogen, and liquids such as water. The catalysts are layered HTCs and related materials which are impregnated with specified pairs of metals, which impregnated layered HTCs and related materials have been calcined in air at elevated temperatures.
