This study demonstrates a new route for converting bio-oil, prepared from the hydrothermal liquefaction of cornstalks, to diesel- and jet-fuel-range hydrocarbons over Ni/ZrO₂ in supercritical cyclohexane. Under relatively mild conditions (573 K, 5 MPa H₂), we obtained a high yield (81.6 C%) of hydrocarbons with an excellent quality (90% of diesel- and jet-fuel-range hydrocarbons and 7% of gasoline-range hydrocarbons). Ni/ZrO₂ efficiently and stably catalyzed all types of compounds in the bio-oil to the corresponding alkanes via hydrogenation, dehydration, hydrogenolysis, decarbonylation, and isomerization, without polymerizations among the different reactive compounds in bio-oil. The activity and selectivity for diesel- and jet-fuel-range hydrocarbons of Ni/ZrO₂ showed no obvious changes after three cycles. Ni/ZrO₂ was fairly stable in supercritical cyclohexane after 72 h of reaction time. This strategy provides a novel high-efficiency pathway for the preparation of high-quality hydrocarbons from bio-oil.
