Introduction
Pyrolysis oil (from fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass) is an attractive energy carrier, since it is renewable and easy to transport.
Hydrotreatment with Ru/C has been proved to improve the quality of the pyrolysis oil, so it can be used as co-feeding for existing refineries.
Mechanism of hydrotreatment, and mass transfer effects, are not fully understood.
Background Hypothesis: hydrotreatment pathway
(Venderbosch, et al , 2010)
Understanding the mechanism of hydrotreatment with Ru/C, and possible mass transfer effects (G/L, L/S)
Objectives
Experiment Set-Up
Feed: 25 g of pine pyrolysis oil, catalyst: Ru/C, starting H2 pressure: 120 bar at room temperature
Severity (T,t): from 80 oC (1 h) to 80 oC (1h)+150 oC (1h) + 350 oC (2h)
Catalyst intake: 1 – 5 wt% of feed
Catalyst particle size: 23 μm – 525 μm
Variables:
Conditions:
Conditions:
Catalyst intake
Large catalyst particle size resulted in low catalyst activity, low H/C ratio of organic phase, and catalyst activity.
Indication that the reaction occurs mainly on the surface of the catalyst particle.

Analysis: Van Krevelen plot (O/C vs H/C), H2 consumption, Mw.
Desired properties: high H/C and low Mw of the organic phase. High H2 uptake indicates high catalyst activity.
Products: Gas (CO2, CH4, C2 – C3), organic phase (upgraded oil),
aqueous phase

High catalyst intake gave lower H2 uptake (per g active metal)
At high catalyst intake, the order of reaction ≠ 1 with respect to catalyst concentration.
