Efficient hydro-deoxygenation (HDO) of lignin derived phenolic compounds was a challenging task due to the incompatibility of the phenolic feedstock and the current hydro-processing catalysts. In this paper, hydro-deoxygenation of lignin derived phenolic compounds over a series of bifunctional catalysts with different metal/acid interactions was firstly carried out. It was found that the distance between the acidic site and noble metal played an important role in the catalytic performance of phenolic hydro-deoxygenation. A highly stable bifunctional catalyst for hydro-deoxygenation of lignin derived phenolic compounds was obtained through simple selective deposition of Pt on alumina in a commonly used Al2O3-ZSM-5 nanocomposite. The bifunctional catalyst retained its complete deoxygenation capacity for more than 500 h. The catalyst can also be used for the HDO of various phenolic model compounds and real bio-oil derived from lignin. A correction of the generally accepted the closer the better criterion in metal/acid bifunctional catalysts when used in bio-oxygenate HDO was also discussed.

The influence of Ir content on the properties of Pt-Ir/Al2O 3 and Pt-Ir/TiO2 catalysts for selective ring opening of naphthenes was studied. It was found that these catalysts display a strong Pt-Ir interaction but only a weak metal-support interaction. Catalyst acidities depend on the metal loading, but opposite effects were observed on alumina (decrease) or titania (increase) as the metal loading increased. The results obtained from test reactions (cyclohexane dehydrogenation and cyclopentane hydrogenolysis) showed that titania supported catalysts were less active than their alumina supported counterparts. This behavior could be due to the partial blockage of metallic sites by migrated TiOx species and the sinterization of metallic phase during the reduction step. The methylcyclopentane ring opening reaction was found to occur through a partially selective mechanism, and an increase in activity as the Ir loading increased was observed. The selective mechanism was favored by higher total metal loadings, possibly due to an increase in the size of metallic aggregates. Alumina supported catalysts present higher ring opening selectivities. The activity for decalin ring opening increased both with metal loading and reaction temperature level.

Ring-opening reactions of decalin and MCH were studied over monofunctional acid (WO3/Al2O3) and metal (Ir/Al 2O3) catalysts containing, respectively, up to 5.3 at. W/nm2 and 1.8 wt% Ir. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, low-temperature CO adsorption followed by infrared spectroscopy, and H2 chemisorption. A reaction network was proposed for both molecules and used to determine the kinetic parameters. Kinetic modeling allowed relating characterization results and catalytic performance. For WO3/Al2O3 catalysts, ring contraction precedes ring opening of both molecules. The evolution of ring contraction activity was consistent with the development of relatively strong Bronsted acid sites. Ring opening occurs according to a classic acid mechanism. For Ir/Al2O3 catalysts, only direct ring opening was observed. Ring opening proceeds mostly via dicarbene mechanism. Analysis of products indicated that monofunctional metal catalysts are better suited than acid solids for upgrading LCO.
