This work reports hydrodeoxygenation of dibenzofuran into bicyclic hydrocarbons over Cu-Ni catalysts supported on TiO2, ZrO2 and CeO2. The supported Cu-Ni catalysts were synthesized using a wet-impregnation method and calcined and reduced at 500 °C in accordance with TGA, DSC, and H2-TPR results. Th...
