The carbon support shows promise for future catalytic applications.

Abstract

The KOH treatment of thermally degraded PVC residues produces a microporous carbon support with a BET surface area of 3273 m 2 g −1 . Ru catalysts supported on this carbon exhibit high guaiacol hydrodeoxygenation activity.
