Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a method of polymerizing and upgrading biomass pyrolysis oil. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a hydrogenation reaction product by adding biomass pyrolysis oil to a first-stage catalyst containing a transition metal supported on carbon; obtaining a first hydrodeoxygenation reaction product by adding the hydrogenation reaction product to a second-stage catalyst containing nickel and iron supported on a metal oxide; obtaining a polymerization reaction product by adding the first hydrodeoxygenation reaction product to a third-stage catalyst containing zeolite; and obtaining a second hydrodeoxygenation reaction product by adding the polymerization reaction product to a fourth-stage catalyst containing a transition metal supported on tungstate zirconia.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for polymerizing and upgrading biomass pyrolysis oil, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining a hydrogenation reaction product by adding biomass pyrolysis oil to a first-stage catalyst comprising a transition metal supported on carbon; obtaining a first hydrodeoxygenation reaction product by adding the hydrogenation reaction product to a second-stage catalyst comprising nickel and iron supported on a metal oxide; obtaining a polymerization reaction product by adding the first hydrodeoxygenation reaction product to a third-stage catalyst comprising zeolite; and obtaining a second hydrodeoxygenation reaction product by adding the polymerization reaction product to a fourth-stage catalyst comprising a transition metal supported on tungstate zirconia. 2 . The method for polymerizing and upgrading biomass pyrolysis oil according to claim 1 , wherein the transition metal in the first-stage catalyst comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, platinum, palladium, gold, rhodium, iridium, nickel, cobalt, copper, and molybdenum. 3 . The method for polymerizing and upgrading biomass pyrolysis oil according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrogenation reaction is performed at 150 to 220° C. 4 .
