Hydrodeoxygenation of lignin to hydrocarbons using bimetallic catalysts

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1840305

Bimetallic catalysts for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) conversion of lignin into useful hydrocarbons are provided. The catalysts are bifunctional bimetallic ruthenium catalysts Ru-M/X+Y comprising a metal M such as iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) or zinc (Zn), zeolite Y and cation X+ (e.g. H+) associated with zeolite Y.
