Abstract
The pyrolysis of Pubescens over Ni/C catalyst was studied at 350 °C in H2 flow. The presence of Ni/C catalyst efficiently improved the degradation of raw materials, and produced bio-oil with high content of phenols but low contents of acetic acid, furfural and water. In the reaction, Ni/C catalyst plays the role of catalytic decomposition and catalytic hydrogenation. The existence of the carbon carrier favors the formation of active Ni in small sizes with more defects, which results in high catalytic activity of Ni in biomass decomposition and selective production of phenols.
