Progress in Aromatic Hydrocarbons Production from Selective Direct Deoxygenation of Phenolics

Abstract

Using biomass as raw material to produce renewable energy and chemicals is one of the most promising developing direction of the future energy industry. Aromatics, especially benzene, toluene and xylene are currently widely used in commodity chemicals and can also be used as gasoline additive to increase the octane number. Therefore, selective direct deoxygenation (DDO) of phenolics derived from lignin to produce aromatics is an important approach for efficient utilization of biomass, which is of great economic and social importance. This paper evaluates different catalysts including: sulfides, phosphides (nitrides, borides, etc.), metal, metal oxides, bimetallic alloy, metal-zeolite bifunctional catalyst, on the performance of selective direct deoxygenation to aromatics. The effects of many factors including reaction temperature, pressure, promoter, carrier, sulfur source are discussed. The suitable catalysts and reaction conditions for aromatics production have been proposed.
