Hydrodeoxygenation / Direct Deoxygenation catalytic activation via nitrogen

Applications: Catalysts, Catalyst supports, Petrochemicals, Bio-oils, Biomass

Oxford scientists have developed a process of incorporating nitrogen to boost catalytic activity for Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) / Direct Deoxygenation (DDO).

Features	Benefits
Catalytic reaction in presence of nitrogen gaseous mixture.	Increased catalytic activity and/or increased selectivity for aromatic reaction products.
Incorporation of nitrogen into hydrodeoxygenation reaction can form activated nitrogen intermediates on catalyst surface.	Intermediate can interact with phenols and reduce the reaction barrier for deoxygenation reaction. New and improved reaction sequences.
Significant improvement over existing/alternative catalysts.	Lower temperature and pressure requirements for reaction. Lower cost.
Promotes circular economy.	Carbon net zero.
