Hydrogenolysis of Furfuryl Alcohol to 1,2-Pentanediol Over Supported Ruthenium Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogenolysis of the furan rings of furfural and furfuryl alcohol, which can be obtained from biomass, has attracted attention as a method for obtaining valuable chemicals such as 1,2-pentanediol. In this study, we examined the hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol to 1,2-pentanediol over Pd/C, Pt/C, Rh/C, and various supported Ru catalysts in several solvents. In particular, we investigated the effects of combinations of solvents and supports on the reaction outcome. Of all the tested combinations, Ru/MgO in water gave the best selectivity for 1,2-pentanediol: with this catalyst, 42 % selectivity for 1,2-pentanediol was achieved upon hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol for 1 h at 463 K. In contrast, reaction in water in the presence of Ru/Al₂ O₃ afforded cyclopentanone and cyclopentanol by means of hydrogenation and rearrangement reactions.

Effect of support acidity during selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol over supported palladium-ruthenium catalysts.

Project description:We report the role of the acidity of support during the selectivity hydrogenolysis of glycerol over supported bimetallic palladium-ruthenium (PdRu) catalysts. The PdRu nanoparticles were supported on a series of metal oxides and zeolitic supports via the modified impregnation method and tested for the liquid-phase hydrogenolysis of glycerol using gaseous hydrogen. The relative acid site densities of selected catalysts were determined by ammonia temperature-programmed desorption and pyridine desorption experiments. Based on these studies, we report a direct correlation between the catalytic activity (conversion and 1,2 propane diol yield) and two different acid sites (strong acid sites and very strong acid sites). Besides zeolite-supported catalysts, TiO2 supported PdRu nanoparticles exhibit moderate catalytic activity; however, this catalyst shows high selectivity for the desired C-O bond cleavage to produce C3 products over the undesired C-C bond cleavage to produce < C3 products. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Science to enable the circular economy'.

Electronic modulation of metal-support interactions improves polypropylene hydrogenolysis over ruthenium catalysts.

Project description:Ruthenium (Ru) is the one of the most promising catalysts for polyolefin hydrogenolysis. Its performance varies widely with the support, but the reasons remain unknown. Here, we introduce a simple synthetic strategy (using ammonia as a modulator) to tune metal-support interactions and apply it to Ru deposited on titania (TiO2). We demonstrate that combining deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with temperature variation and density functional theory can reveal the complex nature, binding strength, and H amount. H2 activation occurs heterolytically, leading to a hydride on Ru, an H+ on the nearest oxygen, and a partially positively charged Ru. This leads to partial reduction of TiO2 and high coverages of H for spillover, showcasing a threefold increase in hydrogenolysis rates. This result points to the key role of the surface hydrogen coverage in improving hydrogenolysis catalyst performance.

Highly selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol over Pt nanoparticles supported on g-C3N4 nanosheets catalysts in water.

Project description:Graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets were investigated for developing effective Pt catalyst supports for selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol in water. The nanosheets with an average thickness of about 3 nm were synthesized by a simple and green method through thermal oxidation etching of bulk g-C3N4 in air. Combined with the unique feature of nitrogen richness and locally conjugated structure, the g-C3N4 nanosheets with a high surface area of 142 m(2) g(-1) were demonstrated to be an excellent supports for loading small-size Pt nanoparticles. Superior furfural hydrogenation activity in water with complete conversion of furfural and high selectivity of furfuryl alcohol (>99%) was observed for g-C3N4 nanosheets supported Pt catalysts. The large specific surface area, uniform dispersion of Pt nanoparticles and the stronger furfural adsorption ability of nanosheets contributed to the considerable catalytic performance. The reusability tests showed that the novel Pt catalyst could maintain high activity and stability in the furfural hydrogenation reaction.

Mechanocatalytic Hydrogenolysis of the Lignin Model Dimer Benzyl Phenyl Ether over Supported Palladium Catalysts.

Project description:This work demonstrates the mechanocatalytic hydrogenolysis of the ether bond in the lignin model compound benzyl phenyl ether (BPE) and hardwood lignin isolated by hydrolysis with supercritical water. Pd catalysts with 4 wt % loading on Al2O3 and SiO2 supports achieve 100% conversion of BPE with a toluene production rate of (2.6-2.9) × 10-5 mol·min-1. The formation of palladium hydrides under H2 gas flow contributes to an increase in the turnover frequency by a factor of up to 300 compared to Ni on silica-alumina. While a near-quantitative toluene yield is obtained, some of the phenolic products remain adsorbed on the catalyst.

Single-Step Hydrogenolysis of Furfural to 1,2-Pentanediol Using a Bifunctional Rh/OMS-2 Catalyst.

Project description:Hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived furfural (FFA) to 1,2-pentanediol (1,2-PeD) was investigated using a bifunctional catalyst with basic and metallic sites, which was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The synthesized catalyst consisting of rhodium (Rh) supported on an octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) of different loadings, such as 0.5, 1, and 1.5% w/w, was studied, and 1% (w/w) loading gave the best results. This 1% w/w Rh/OMS-2 catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for the hydrogenolysis reaction because of better dispersion of rhodium, later revealed by characterization. Furthermore, 1% Rh/OMS-2 catalyst was well characterized in virgin and reused states using various techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, NH3-temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), CO2-TPD, temperature-programmed reduction, H2 pulse chemisorption, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry-thermogravimetry analysis. The catalyst showed a higher surface area of 72 m2/g and the average size of the highly dispersed Rh metal of ∼2 nm. The studies were performed in a batch reactor; the catalyst offered almost 100% conversion of FFA with 87% selectivity to 1,2-PeD at 160 °C and 30 atm hydrogen pressure in 8 h. The reaction mechanism and kinetic model have been developed using a dual-site Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson mechanism. The activation energies were 12.3 and 27.6 kcal/mol, correspondingly. The catalyst was found to be active, selective, and reusable.

In Situ Ruthenium Catalyst Modification for the Conversion of Furfural to 1,2-Pentanediol.

Project description:Exploiting biomass to synthesise compounds that may replace fossil-based ones is of high interest in order to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. 1,2-pentanediol and 1,5-pentanediol can be produced from furfural, furfuryl alcohol or tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol following a metal catalysed hydrogenation/C-O cleavage procedure. Colloidal ruthenium nanoparticles stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone in situ modified with different organic compounds are able to produce 1,2-pentanediol directly from furfural in a 36% of selectivity at 125 °C under 20 bar of H2 pressure.

Polyethylene Hydrogenolysis at Mild Conditions over Ruthenium on Tungstated Zirconia.

Project description:Plastics waste has become a major environmental threat, with polyethylene being one of the most produced and hardest to recycle plastics. Hydrogenolysis is potentially the most viable catalytic technology for recycling. Ruthenium (Ru) is one of the most active hydrogenolysis catalysts but yields too much methane. Here we introduce ruthenium supported on tungstated zirconia (Ru-WZr) for hydrogenolysis of low-density polyethylene (LDPE). We show that the Ru-WZr catalysts suppress methane formation and produce a product distribution in the diesel and wax/lubricant base-oil range unattainable by Ru-Zr and other Ru-supported catalysts. Importantly, the enhanced performance is showcased for real-world, single-use LDPE consumables. Reactivity studies combined with characterization and density functional theory calculations reveal that highly dispersed (WO x )n clusters store H as surface hydroxyls by spillover. We correlate this hydrogen storage mechanism with hydrogenation and desorption of long alkyl intermediates that would otherwise undergo further C-C scission to produce methane.

Catalytic Conversion of Biomass-Derived 1,2-Propanediol to Propylene Oxide over Supported Solid-Base Catalysts.

Project description:A series of supported alkali metal salts were investigated as catalysts to produce propylene oxide (PO) from biomass-derived 1,2-propanediol via dehydrative epoxidation in a solid-gas reaction system. The effects of supports, cations, and anions in the alkali metal salts and calcination temperature were investigated by X-ray diffraction and CO2-temperature-programmed desorption. The results indicate the catalysts with relative mild basicity having higher yields of PO. The highest yield of PO is 58.2% from reactions at 400 °C at an atmospheric pressure over KNO3/SiO2. In addition, the catalyst could be reused after calcination in air at 550 °C.

Preparation of Propanols by Glycerol Hydrogenolysis over Bifunctional Nickel-Containing Catalysts.

Project description:The paper presents the results obtained in studying glycerol hydrogenolysis into 1-propanol and 2-propanol over bifunctional Ni/WO3-TiO2 and Ni/WO3-ZrO2 catalysts in the flow system. Due to the optimal combination of acidic and hydrogenation properties of the heterogeneous catalysts, they exhibit higher performance in glycerol conversion into C3 alcohols, although the process is carried out in rather mild conditions. At the reaction temperature of 250 °C and hydrogen pressure of 3 MPa, the total yield of 1-propanol and 2-propanol reaches 95%, and the glycerol conversion is close to 100%.

Hydrogenolysis of Polyethylene and Polypropylene into Propane over Cobalt-Based Catalysts.

Project description:The development of technologies to recycle polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), globally the two most produced polymers, is critical to increase plastic circularity. Here, we show that 5 wt % cobalt supported on ZSM-5 zeolite catalyzes the solvent-free hydrogenolysis of PE and PP into propane with weight-based selectivity in the gas phase over 80 wt % after 20 h at 523 K and 40 bar H2. This catalyst significantly reduces the formation of undesired CH4 (≤5 wt %), a product which is favored when using bulk cobalt oxide or cobalt nanoparticles supported on other carriers (selectivity ≤95 wt %). The superior performance of Co/ZSM-5 is attributed to the stabilization of dispersed oxidic cobalt nanoparticles by the zeolite support, preventing further reduction to metallic species that appear to catalyze CH4 generation. While ZSM-5 is also active for propane formation at 523 K, the presence of Co promotes stability and selectivity. After optimizing the metal loading, it was demonstrated that 10 wt % Co/ZSM-5 can selectively catalyze the hydrogenolysis of low-density PE (LDPE), mixtures of LDPE and PP, as well as postconsumer PE, showcasing the effectiveness of this technology to upcycle realistic plastic waste. Cobalt supported on zeolites FAU, MOR, and BEA were also effective catalysts for C2-C4 hydrocarbon formation and revealed that the framework topology provides a handle to tune gas-phase selectivity.
