Table 2.

Identified Final Aliphatic/Aromatic Product Distributions, for First, Second and Third Runs (Catalyst Recycling Experiments) of the Phosphidated Ni/SiO2 Catalyst, for the Conversion of Poplar Lignin Oil to Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Run Aromatics-Directed HDO
Aliphatic Aromatic
1st 22% 78%
2nd 26% 74%
3rd 23% 77%

General reaction conditions: 5 (or 0.5) MPa H2, T = 573 (or 623) K for aliphatics (or for aromatics-directed) HDO. For recycling experiments, the catalyst was washed with n-hexane, dried and then reused.
