Effect of the Support on Rhenium Carbide in the Hydrodeoxygenation of Guaiacol as Lignin-Derived Model Compound

The effect of support on the formation of rhenium carbide in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol as a lignin-derived compound was evaluated. Catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation, carburized at 650 °C under a mixture 25/75 of ethylene/hydrogen, and characterized by XRD, N<...

description The effect of support on the formation of rhenium carbide in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol as a lignin-derived compound was evaluated. Catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation, carburized at 650 °C under a mixture 25/75 of ethylene/hydrogen, and characterized by XRD, N<sub>2</sub>-physisorption, TPR, TPD of NH<sub>3</sub> or isopropylamine (IPA), and XPS. The results have demonstrated that the support choice affects the carburization of rhenium. Indeed, over non-acidic support (e.g., SiO<sub>2</sub>), limited carburization of the metal was observed, while over ZrO<sub>2</sub> and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, carburization of rhenium occurred, and different carbidic species were obtained depending on the surface and chemical identity of the support. The rhenium carbide species obtained over ZrO<sub>2</sub> was the most active and selective toward benzene (22% at 98% of conversion).
