Highly selective catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of C aromatic –OH in bio-oil to cycloalkanes on a Ce–Ni–W–B amorphous catalyst

Ce–Ni–W–B amorphous catalysts exhibited high activity in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of C aromatic –OH. The deoxygenation degree was up to 98.1% with low aromatics selectivity at 498 K. Both the aromatics content and reaction temperature were decreased, which realized the energy saving and consumption reduction in the HDO process.
