Mg(OH)2 -Facilitated Liquid-Phase Conversion of Lactic Acid into 1,2-Propanediol over Cu: An Experimental and Theoretical Study.


ABSTRACT: Mg(OH)2 is found to exhibit superior performance in the liquid-phase conversion of lactic acid (LA) into 1,2-propanediol over Cu. A conversion of 90?% with a selectivity of 98?% is achieved at 513?K and 5?MPa H2 . Mg(LA)2 could be identified as a crucial intermediate in this reaction, as it undergoes faster conversion than the combination of LA and Mg(OH2 ) and regeneration of Mg(OH)2 through the conversion of Mg(LA)2 as a substrate. DFT calculations reveal that the energetic span of the reaction decreases from 46.6?kcal?mol-1 catalyzed with no cation to 43.6?kcal?mol-1 with [Mg(OH)]+ , confirming the facilitating effect of Mg(OH)2 .
