Representative Research
By applying the novel strategy combining catalysis and separation, the production of aromatic hydrocarbons and derivatives from renewable carbon resources was performed. Main research achievements including the conversion of the pyrolysis oil into alkyl phenol by integrating catalysis and separation methods; separated production of aromatic hydrocarbons and alicyclic hydrocarbons with high purity from lignin by funneling catalytic methods; separating the activation and reaction steps in the catalytic process and achieving improved methane aromatization efficiency. These works based on the integrated design of catalysis and separation methods have significantly improved the efficiency of the production of aromatic hydrocarbons and derivatives from biomass raw materials.
