Selective Gas-Phase Conversion of Glycerol to Acetol Over Promoted Zirconia Solid Acid Catalysts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vapour phase selective conversion of glycerol to acetol at normal atmospheric pressure in a fixed-bed micro reactor was investigated over SO4 2 and WOx promoted ZrO2 and M-ZrO2 (M = Al2O3 or TiO2) solid acid catalysts. The investigated sulfate and tungstate ion promoted zirconia-based catalysts were prepared by both coprecipitation and impregnation methods and calcined at 923 K. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, BET surface area and ammonia temperature-programmed desorption methods. Characterization results suggest that SO4 2 promoter strongly influences the physicochemical properties of the support oxides than WOx. However, the WOx promoted catalysts exhibited better catalytic activity than SO4 2 promoted catalysts. Among various catalysts investigated, the WOx/Al2O3-ZrO2 catalyst exhibited stable catalytic activity with the highest glycerol conversion of 99% and acetol selectivity of 74%.

Statistical Optimization of Liquid Phase Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol over Efficient Cobalt Promoted Vanadyl Pyrophosphate Catalysts by Box-Behnken Design
Vanadium phosphorus oxides (VPO) has been applied as a heterogeneous catalyst in gas phase oxidation reactions and its application is very limited in liquid phase. In this study a series of cobalt-doped vanadium phosphorus oxides (VPO-Co) catalysts with different loading of Co (0.01-1.0 mol ratio of Co/V) were prepared. Oxidation of benzyl alcohol was studied in the liquid phase over VPO and VP...

In this study, we investigated different metal pairings of Au nanoparticles (NPs) as potential catalysts for glycerol dehydration for the first time. All of the systems preferred the formation of hydroxyacetone (HYNE). Although the bimetallics that were tested, i.e., Au NPs supported on Ni, Fe and Cu appeared to be more active than the Au/SiO2 system, only Cu supported Au NPs gave high conversi...

The grafting and sulfation of zirconia conformal monolayers on SBA-15 to create mesoporous catalysts of tunable solid acid/base character is reported. Conformal zirconia and sulfated zirconia (SZ) materials exhibit both Brönsted and Lewis acidity, with the Brönsted/Lewis acid ratio increasing with film thickness and sulfate content. Grafted zirconia films also exhibit amphoteric character, whos...

Medium-pore (diameter ~ 6A) zeolites such as ZSM-5 and silicalite impregnated with Group VIII metals provide selective catalytic pathways for the conversion of synthesis gas to gasoline or olefins. Mössbauer and magnetic studies on these catalysts containing iron or iron plus cobalt are reported. The zeolites were impregnated with metal nitrate solutions, reduced, and carbided to yield showed F...
