Bio-oil obtained cannot be directly used as a fuel without upgrading. Upgrading lignin-derived phenolic compounds is one of the biggest challenges in bio-oil upgrading. Supported MoO₃ have been shown to be effective for HDO of lignin-derived model compounds. MoO₃/nTiO_2,MoO₃/γAl₂O₃, and MoO₃/nZrO₂ are effective, and robust, towards HDO of phenolic compounds.
