The distillation stage was intended for pre-concentrating metals by the matrix removal. Such multiplication of metal concentrations provided the possibility to measure them within the sensitivity range of the ICP-OES instrument. The reliability of such measurements was demonstrated for a wide concentration range of each metal, and the validation of the method was performed. Based on the standard deviations of nine successive measurements performed for 10 metals, the precision (repeatability) of the method for samples with concentrated metals was calculated. The values of this index (in ppb) were the following: 20.8 (Al), 20.4 (Ca), 13.7 (Na), 19.09 (Ni), 13.4 (Fe), 1.4 (P), 26.9 (V), and 45.15 (Zn).

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most promising plant-based raw material for the production of liquid engine fuels or individual petrochemical monomers. Among the several existing techniques for biomass processing, pyrolysis offers superior efficiency. Given that the bio-oil produced by biomass pyrolysis has unsatisfactory performance characteristics caused by the presence of oxygenates, this bio-oil cannot be used directly as a fuel. Hydrodeoxygenation using selective catalysts is able to reduce the oxygen content in bio-oil and to improve its performance characteristics. To this end, bifunctional catalysts that contain active metal sites on an acid support hold promise. Noble metals (e.g., Pt, Pd, and Ru) and/or transition metals (e.g., Ni, Co, and Mo), as well as sulfides and phosphides of transition metals, can be used as an active catalytic phase. Metal oxides (e.g., ZrO<sub>2</sub>, CeO<sub>2</sub>, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, and TiO<sub>2</sub>), carbon, zeolites (e.g., ZSM-5, Y, Beta, and SAPO-11), and mesoporous silica-based materials (e.g., SBA-15 and MCM-41) have been most often used as supports in hydrodeoxygenation catalysts. However, the implementation and upscaling of the hydrodeoxygenation of biomass pyrolytic bio-oil is limited because of the rapid deactivation of the catalyst in the presence of water, due to sintering and leaching the active phase with acidic components of bio-oil. Therefore, the development of catalysts that would provide high activity and stability under bio-oil hydrodeoxygenation conditions has become one of the most pressing issues for the petrochemical industry.</p>","PeriodicalId":725,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Chemistry","volume":"63 10","pages":"1143 - 1169"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139678828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
