Abstract

Three activated carbon (AC) supported bimetallic catalysts (Ce-Fe/AC, Ce-Ni/AC, Ce-Cu/AC) were prepared, and the catalysts' impacts on the microwave co-pyrolysis of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) (mixing ratio of 1:1, C1HP1) were explored. The findings indicated that the catalysts promoted the co-pyrolysis of C1HP1 substantially at 40 % and 50 % additions. The minimum reaction time (2945 s) was observed at 40 % Ce–Fe/AC. Compared to the C1HP1 group, Ce-Fe/AC groups exhibited a pronounced promotional impact on bio-oil production, with the maximum bio-oil yield (25.8 %) catalyzed by 30 % Ce–Fe/AC. Furthermore, the catalyst's high hydrogenation activity and deoxygenation promoted the formation of H2O, NH3 and HCN, achieving over 40 % efficiencies in deoxygenation and denitrification for bio-oil. 40 % Ce–Cu/AC exhibited superior performance with the highest hydrocarbon (67.43 %) and aromatic hydrocarbon content (50.75 %), as well as leading deoxygenation (44.38 %) and nitrogen removal (58.63 %) efficiency among the AC supported bimetallic catalysts.
