Abstract

Bio-oil to hydrocarbon oil: An active, selective, and stable catalyst (Ni supported in zeolite HZSM-5) allows the conversion of a wide variety of C-O and C-O bonds in n-hexane-extracted pyrolysis oil into hydrocarbons through a cascade of hydrogenation, hydrolysis, dehydration, and dehydroaromatization reactions. Quantitative yields of C 5-C 9 gasoline-range hydrocarbons are obtained under mild conditions in water.
