Abstract

A highly ordered nanoporous aluminosilicate (MMZ USY) was synthesized using commercially available zeolite USY as the framework source and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as the template. The aluminosilicate was characterized by XRD, N 2 adsorption, ICP-AES and TPD. The catalytic performance of the MMZ USY material in the conversion of bio-oil was compared with that of Al-MCM-41, which was synthesized using a direct sol-gel method. The highly accessible nanopores, hydrothermal stability and the intermediate acidic properties of MMZ USY correlated with the catalytic performance in the conversion of the bio-oil. The MMZ USY used in this study showed excellent activity, selectivity and stability for the production of desirable organic compounds, such as phenolics, with a high degree of deoxygenation.
