Abstract
Fabricating highly active non-noble metal catalysts for hydrodeoxygenation of lignin derivatives is craving but still a challenge. Herein, hierarchical Ga-promoted Ni/MFI catalysts were built via hydrothermal crystallization, and utilized for the hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin to produce 2‑methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP). The introduced Ga species were highly dispersed on series Ni/GaMFI catalysts, and framework Ga in Ni/GaMFI catalysts significantly improved the vanillin conversion and MMP selectivity by regulating the distribution of Ni nanoparticles and acid sites, which favored H2 activation and cleavage of CO bond. The high vanillin conversion (>99 %) and MMP selectivity (>99 %) were obtained on Ni/0.025GaMFI catalyst under the experiment conditions (150 °C, 1.5 MPa H2 and 4 h), which was attributed to synergetic effect of open structural properties, dispersed Ni nanoparticles and suitable acidity. Finally, Ni/0.025GaMFI catalyst demonstrated excellent activity stability during 5 recycles and universality for hydrodeoxygenation of various lignin derivatives.
