Kinetic Modeling for the “One-Pot” Hydrogenolysis of Cellulose to Glycols over Ru@Fe3O4/Polymer Catalyst

Despite numerous works devoted to the cellulose hydrogenolysis process, only some of them describe reaction kinetics. This is explained by complexity process and simultaneous behavior different reactions. In this work, we present results kinetic study glucose into ethylene- propylene glycols in presence Ru@Fe3O4/HPS catalyst as a part catalytic conversion glycols. The structure Ru-containing magnetically separable catalysts supported on polymeric matrix hypercrosslinked polystyrene was studied propose scheme. As result study, formal description performed. Based data obtained, mathematical model kinetics developed parameter estimation carried out. synthesized found be characterized enhanced magnetic properties higher activity comparison with previously systems (i.e., base SiO2). summarized selectivity towards formation ca. 42% at 100% Ru@Fe3O4/HPS.
