5-Hydroxymethyl-2-Furfural Oxidation Over Au/Ce_xZr_1-xO₂ Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: A series of gold catalysts supported on pure CeO₂, ZrO₂, and two different Ce-Zr mixed oxides have been prepared and tested in the 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural oxidation reaction. All catalysts show high catalytic activity (100% conversion) and important selectivity (27-41%) to the desired product i.e., 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid at low base concentration. Products selectivity changes with the support nature as expected, however, the observed trend cannot be related neither to gold particle size, nor to catalyst reducibility and oxygen mobility. An important relation between the FDCA selectivity and the support textural properties is observed, conducing to the general requirement for optimal pore size for this reaction.

Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation and Acid Reactions of Furfural and 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural over Hf-TUD-1 Type Catalysts.

Project description:Heterogeneous catalysis, which has served well the petrochemical industry, may valuably contribute towards a bio-based economy by sustainably enabling selective reactions to renewable chemicals. Carbohydrate-containing matter may be obtained from various widespread sources and selectively converted to furanic platform chemicals: furfural (Fur) and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (Hmf). Valuable bioproducts may be obtained from these aldehydes via catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) using alcohols as H-donors under relatively moderate reaction conditions. Hafnium-containing TUD-1 type catalysts were the first of ordered mesoporous silicates explored for the conversion of Fur and Hmf via CTH/alcohol strategies. The materials promoted CTH and acid reactions leading to the furanic ethers. The bioproducts spectrum was broader for the reaction of Fur than of Hmf. A Fur reaction mechanism based on literature data was discussed and supported by kinetic modelling. The influence of the Hf loading and reaction conditions (catalyst load, type of alcohol H-donor, temperature, initial substrate concentration) on the reaction kinetics was studied. The reaction conditions were optimized to maximize the yields of 2-(alkoxymethyl)furan ethers formed from Fur; up to 63% yield was reached at 88% Fur conversion, 4 h/150 °C, using Hf-TUD-1(75), which was a stable catalyst. The Hf-TUD-1(x) catalysts promoted the selective conversion of Hmf to bis(2-alkoxymethyl)furan; e.g., 96% selectivity at 98% Hmf conversion, 3 h/170 °C for Hf-TUD-1(50).

1,2-Dichloroethane Deep Oxidation over Bifunctional Ru/Ce x Al y Catalysts.

Project description:Ru/Ce x Al y catalysts were synthesized with impregnation of RuCl3 aqueous solution on Ce x Al y (Al2O3-CeO2) and used in 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) oxidation. Characterization by X-ray diffraction, Raman, NH3-temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), CO2-TPD, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and H2-temperature-programmed reduction indicates that CeO2 exists as a form of face-centered cubic fluorite structure, whereas the chemical states and the structure of Ru species are dependent on the Ce content. The reducibility and acidity of catalysts increase with Ce/Ce + Al ratio. However, the latter is promoted only in a Ce/Ce + Al range of 0-0.25 and then decreases quickly. Ru/Ce x Al y catalysts have considerable activity for 1,2-DCE combustion. TOFRu of 1,2-DCE oxidation increases with strong acid, which is ascribed to a synergy of reducibility and acidity. Ru greatly inhibits the chlorination through the decreases in both Cl deposition and CH2=CHCl formation. High stability of Ru/Ce10Al90 maintains at 280 °C for at least 25 h with CO2 selectivity of 99% or higher. In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicates that 1,2-DCE dissociates to form ClCH2-CH2O- species, which is an intermediate species for the production of CH3CHO and CH2=CHCl, the former responsible for deep oxidation.

Ozone catalytic oxidation of low-concentration formaldehyde over ternary Mn-Ce-Ni oxide catalysts modified with FeOx.

Project description:Manganese oxide-based catalysts have attracted extensive attention due to their relatively low cost and remarkable performance for removing VOCs. In this research, we used the Pechini method to synthesize manganese-cerium-nickel ternary oxide catalysts (MCN) and evaluated the effectiveness of catalytic destruction of formaldehyde (HCHO) and ozone at room temperature. FeOx prepared by the impregnation method was applied to modify the catalyst. After FeOx treatment, the catalyst represented the best performance on both HCHO destruction and ozone decomposition under dry conditions and exhibited excellent water vapor resistance. The as-prepared catalysts were next characterized via H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), temperature programmed desorption of O2 (O2-TPD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the results demonstrated that addition of FeOx increased Mn3+ and Ce3+ concentrations, oxygen vacancies and surface lattice oxygen species, facilitated adsorption, and redox properties. Based on the results of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrometry (DRIFTS), possible mechanisms of ozone catalytic oxidation of HCHO were proposed. Overall, the ternary mixed-oxide catalyst developed in this study holds great promise for HCHO and ozone decomposition in the indoor environment.

Catalytic Furfural/5-Hydroxymethyl Furfural Oxidation to Furoic Acid/Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic Acid with H2 Production Using Alkaline Water as the Formal Oxidant.

Project description:Furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) are abundantly available biomass-derived renewable chemical feedstocks, and their oxidation to furoic acid and furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), respectively, is a research area with huge prospective applications in food, cosmetics, optics, and renewable polymer industries. Water-based oxidation of furfural/HMF is a lucrative approach for simultaneous generation of H2 and furoic acid/FDCA. However, this process is currently limited to (photo)electrochemical methods that can be challenging to control, improve, and scale up. Herein, we report well-defined ruthenium pincer catalysts for direct homogeneous oxidation of furfural/HMF to furoic acid/FDCA, using alkaline water as the formal oxidant while producing pure H2 as the reaction byproduct. Mechanistic studies indicate that the ruthenium complex not only catalyzes the aqueous oxidation but also actively suppresses background decomposition by facilitating initial Tishchenko coupling of substrates, which is crucial for reaction selectivity. With further improvement, this process can be used in scaled-up facilities for a simultaneous renewable building block and fuel production.

Selective hydrogenation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural to 5-methylfurfural over single atomic metals anchored on Nb2O5.

Project description:5-Methylfurfural (MF) is a very useful chemical. Selective hydrogenation of biomass platform molecule 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) to MF using H2 as the reducing agent is very attractive, but challenging because hydrogenation of C=O bond in HMF is more favourable than C-OH both kinetically and thermodynamically, and this route has not been realized. In this work, we prepare isolated single atomic catalysts (SACs) Pt1/Nb2O5-Ov, Pd1/Nb2O5-Ov, and Au1/Nb2O5-Ov, in which single metal atoms are supported on oxygen defective Nb2O5 (Nb2O5-Ov). It is discovered that the SACs can efficiently catalyze the hydrogenation of HMF to MF using H2 as the reducing agent with MF selectivity of >99% at complete conversion, while the selectivities of the metal nanocatalysts supported on Nb2O5 are very poor. A combination of experimental and density function theory (DFT) studies show that the unique features of the SACs for the reaction result from the cooperation of the Nb and Pt sites near the interface in the Pt1/Nb2O5-Ov. The Pt atoms are responsible for the activation of H2 and the Nb sites activate C-OH in the reaction. This work opens the way for producing MF by direct hydrogenation of biomass-derived HMF using H2 as the reductant.

Oxidation of Dichloromethane over Au, Pt, and Pt-Au Containing Catalysts Supported on ?-Al2O3 and CeO2-Al2O3.

Project description:Au, Pt, and Pt-Au catalysts supported on Al2O3 and CeO2-Al2O3 were studied in the oxidation of dichloromethane (DCM, CH2Cl2). High DCM oxidation activities and HCl selectivities were seen with all the catalysts. With the addition of Au, remarkably lower light-off temperatures were observed as they were reduced by 70 and 85 degrees with the Al2O3-supported and by 35 and 40 degrees with the CeO2-Al2O3-supported catalysts. Excellent HCl selectivities close to 100% were achieved with the Au/Al2O3 and Pt-Au/Al2O3 catalysts. The addition of ceria on alumina decreased the total acidity of these catalysts, resulting in lower performance. The 100-h stability test showed that the Pt-Au/Al2O3 catalyst was active and durable, but the selectivity towards the total oxidation products needs improvement. The results suggest that, with the Au-containing Al2O3-supported catalysts, DCM decomposition mainly occurs via direct DCM hydrolysis into formaldehyde and HCl followed by the oxidation of formaldehyde into CO and CO2.

Boosting the electro-oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural on a Co-CoS x heterojunction by intensified spin polarization.

Project description:The conversion of biomass-derived platform molecules (e.g., 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF)) represents a sustainable route to produce value-added chemicals. Here we report the fabrication of an N-doped carbon nanotube assembled yolk-shell polyhedron with embedded Co-CoS x nanoparticles (NPs) (Y-Co-CoS x @CN) for efficient HMF electrooxidation. DFT calculations demonstrate that the formation of the heterojunction could intensify spin polarization in Co-CoS2, thus achieving effective d-p coupling between the catalyst and reactant/intermediate. As expected, Y-Co-CoS x @CN exhibits excellent HMF electro-oxidation activity at a low applied potential of 1.29 V vs. RHE at 10 mA cm-2 in 0.1 M KOH with 5 mM HMF, affording an FDCA yield of 96% and FE of 93.5%. This work not only sheds light on the catalytic nature of the heterojunction and the underlying mechanisms for the enhancement of HMF electro-oxidation activity, but would also provide a descriptor for the rational design of advanced electro-catalysts.

Thermal control of the defunctionalization of supported Au25(glutathione)18 catalysts for benzyl alcohol oxidation.

Project description:Au25(SG)18 (SG - glutathione) clusters deposited on ZrO2 nanoparticles have been used as a catalyst for benzyl alcohol oxidation. Calcination was performed at different temperatures to study the ligand and particle size effect on the catalytic activity. In contrast to most gold nanoclusters which have to be completely defunctionalized for maximum catalytic activity, the partially defunctionalized Au25(SG)18@ZrO2 catalyst, thermally treated at 300 °C, exhibits full conversion of benzyl alcohol within 15 h under atmospheric pressure with 94% selectivity towards benzaldehyde.

Very Low Temperature CO Oxidation over Atomically Precise Au25 Nanoclusters on MnO2.

Project description:Atomically precise Au25 nanoclusters have garnered significant interest in the field of heterogeneous catalysis due to their remarkable activity and selectivity. However, for the extensively studied reaction of low-temperature CO oxidation, their performance has not been competitive compared to other known gold nanocatalysts. To address this, we deposited Au25(SR)18 (R = CH2CH2Ph) nanoclusters onto a manganese oxide support (Au25/MnO2), resulting in a very stable and highly active catalyst. By optimizing the pretreatment temperature, we were able to significantly enhance the performance of the Au25/MnO2 catalyst, which outperformed most other gold catalysts. Impressively, 100% conversion of CO was achieved at temperatures as low as -50 °C, with 50% conversion being reached below -70 °C. Furthermore, the existence of ligands could also influence the negative apparent activation energy observed at intermediate temperatures. Analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques indicated that the Au25 nanoclusters remained stable on the catalyst surface even after pretreatment at high temperatures. In-situ modulation excitation spectroscopy (MES) spectra also confirmed that the Au cluster was the active site for CO oxidation, highlighting the potential of atomically precise Au25 nanoclusters as primary active sites at very low temperatures.

Conversion and assimilation of furfural and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural by Pseudomonas putida KT2440.

Project description:The sugar dehydration products, furfural and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF), are commonly formed during high-temperature processing of lignocellulose, most often in thermochemical pretreatment, liquefaction, or pyrolysis. Typically, these two aldehydes are considered major inhibitors in microbial conversion processes. Many microbes can convert these compounds to their less toxic, dead-end alcohol counterparts, furfuryl alcohol and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfuryl alcohol. Recently, the genes responsible for aerobic catabolism of furfural and HMF were discovered in Cupriavidus basilensis HMF14 to enable complete conversion of these compounds to the TCA cycle intermediate, 2-oxo-glutarate. In this work, we engineer the robust soil microbe, Pseudomonas putida KT2440, to utilize furfural and HMF as sole carbon and energy sources via complete genomic integration of the 12 kB hmf gene cluster previously reported from Burkholderia phytofirmans. The common intermediate, 2-furoic acid, is shown to be a bottleneck for both furfural and HMF metabolism. When cultured on biomass hydrolysate containing representative amounts of furfural and HMF from dilute-acid pretreatment, the engineered strain outperforms the wild type microbe in terms of reduced lag time and enhanced growth rates due to catabolism of furfural and HMF. Overall, this study demonstrates that an approach for biological conversion of furfural and HMF, relative to the typical production of dead-end alcohols, enables both enhanced carbon conversion and substantially improves tolerance to hydrolysate inhibitors. This approach should find general utility both in emerging aerobic processes for the production of fuels and chemicals from biomass-derived sugars and in the biological conversion of high-temperature biomass streams from liquefaction or pyrolysis where furfural and HMF are much more abundant than in biomass hydrolysates from pretreatment.
