3.3. Atomic H/C and O/C ratio The Atomic H/C and O/C for heavy oil obtained from different HDO solvent is presented in Fig. 2. Conversion and removal of unstable acid‚ aldehyde‚ sugar and water might reduce the O/C ratio. The atomic ratio was calculated by the value of water excluded heavy oil‚ since H/C ratio could also decrease‚ despite hydrogenation. Compared with that of bio-oil (0.9)‚ atomic O/C ratio was effectively reduced via HDO reaction (0.2-0.8)‚ H/C ratio reduced 1.0-2.0 (compared with

(10.27/18.39) x 100% = 55.83 % Analytical Data: -Boiling Point: The liquid had a boiling point between 101°C and 102 °C. According to Paula‚ Lampman‚ Kriz‚ and Engel‚ Introduction to Organic Techniques‚ 2004 3rd Ed. Experiment 24: Preparation of 4-Methylcyclohexene‚ pg 193 the boiling point of the compound should be between 100 and 105 °C. Our value is very close indicating a pretty pure substance. Impurities in the desired substance can alter the boiling point.
