Hydrogen-to-synfuels via Transition Metal Oxide (TMO) catalysts
Spadaro Lorenzo, Palella Alessandra and Arena Francesco
National Research Council of Italy, Italy
Growing concerns about environmental pollution and
energy shortages have prompted new seeks in the field of
chemistry and sustainable processes, for meeting human
development goals while at the same time protecting the
environment and preserving natural resources. On this
address, European Community nations have adopted new
Policies for a sustainable development, aiming to replace
the fossil source and modify the traditional refinery by
introducing renewable bio-feedstock. Furthermore, the
utilization of CO2 as “raw material” for the synthesis of
value-added products (oils, solvents, chemicals, etc.)
appears one of the most promising strategic route for
a “greener economy”. To meet these goals, it become
imperative the design and development of novel advanced
catalytic processes and materials, timely designed for
the manufacturing of efficient, safe and environmentally
benign fuels starting from various feedstock, ranging
from bio-oil to carbon oxides. Many transition metals are
differently active catalytic materials in the hydrogenation
reactions, at temperatures between 180-360°C and
pressure up to 100 bar. The chemical properties of
the diverse transition elements can deeply affect the
selectivity path of the hydrogenation reactions, modifying
the products distribution and the hydrocarbon chain
length of products. Therefore, a series of different catalytic
formulations based have been proved and compared in
the synthesis of green-fuels via hydrotreating processes.
This work is aimed to ascertaining the feasibility of
hydrogenation processes under industrial conditions for
the advanced syn-fuel production, establishing the effect
of the catalytic formulation on catalytic performance.
