The adsorption and reaction of hydroxyacetone, an important and representative pyrolysis oil constituent, on a variety of oxides (SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, CeO2) was investigated using IR spectroscopy as the primary method. Hydroxyacetone interacts strongly with all oxide surfaces and cannot be desorbed without residues remaining on the surface.
