Metal-metal phosphide/SiO2 hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) catalysts

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

Oxford scientists have developed a novel multifunctional catalysts which act as excellent hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) catalysts.

Features	Benefits
Novel hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) catalyst.	High hydrogenation and deoxygenation activity within the same catalyst. Overcomes very weak deoxygenation associated with standard metal/SiO2 catalysts.
Significant improvement over existing/alternative catalysts.	Overcomes NiMo and CoMo sulfite hydrodeoxygenation catalyst issues; sulphur contamination and coke accumulation. Higher efficiency than using pure metal phosphide or metal.
Reaction can be tailored by metal phosphide type and loading amount.	Ability to greatly inhibit transalkylation reactions that give rise to coke accumulation. Greater reaction stability.
