Abstract:
This work is devoted to the catalysts based on molybdenum and tungsten phosphides generated in situ from metal carbonyls and triphenylphosphine in a stainless-steel batch reactor during the hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oil model compound - guaiacol. In situ formed molybdenum and tungsten phosphides are amorphous that was found by XRD. The molar Mo/P in MoP and W/P in WP ratios calculated from energy dispersive X-ray analysis were 1.3 and 1.1, respectively
