Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol to cyclohexane, important for bio-oil upgrading, is usually performed at high reaction temperature (≥200 °C) over non-noble metal catalysts.
Some additional data about properties and applicability of a styrene-divinylbenzene polymer catalyst containing acidic and redox functional groups are reported. It is shown that the catalysts of this type can be prepared reproducibly and exhibit catalytic properties comparable to the properties of noble metal catalysts.
