The catalytic coconversion of glycerol and toluene (93/7 wt %) over a technical H-ZSM-5/AlO (60-40 wt %) catalyst was studied, aiming for enhanced production of biobased benzene, toluene, and xylenes (bio-BTX). When using glycerol/toluene cofeed with a mass ratio of 93/7 wt %, a peak BTX carbon yield of 29.7 ± 1.

Article Synopsis
  • * A catalytic co-conversion strategy using a specific catalyst at high temperatures showed that mixing glycerol with oleic acid significantly improved the yield and quality of bio-based aromatics (BTX).
  • * The study revealed that both glycerol and the added co-feed contribute to the final aromatics produced, and the findings can inform better strategies for maximizing BTX production.

The catalytic conversion of oleic acid to aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes, BTX) over a granular H-ZSM-5/AlO catalyst (ϕ 1.2-1.8 mm, 10 g loading) was investigated in a continuous bench-scale fixed-bed reactor (10 g oleic acid h).
