Abstract. Within the frame of second generation bio-fuels development, the present work reports for the first time the impact of co-processing guaiacol as an oxygenated molecule representative of pyrolitic bio oils with a straight run gas oil (SRGO) in the framework of a hydrodesulfurization process (HDS). The reaction scheme observed during the hydrotreating of the sole guaiacol in the gas…
Abstract. Steam reforming, partial oxidation, and oxidative steam reforming of ethanol over Ir/CeO2 catalysts were studied to elucidate the reaction pathway and determine catalytic stability. Temperature-programmed desorption and surface reaction revealed that ethoxy species were immediately formed on ethanol adsorption at room temperature, and were mainly further oxidized to acetate and ca…
