Abstract

Supported bimetallic ruthenium-tin (denoted as Ru-Sn(x); x = molar ratio of Ru/Sn) catalysts were examined for room temperature (RT) hydrogenation of biogenic platform chemicals of levulinic acid (LA) to g-valerolactone (GVL). Six types of metal oxide support c.a. Nb2O5, TiO2, ZnO, ZrO2, g-Al2O3, active charcoal (AC), were employed as the support for Ru-Sn(x). Ru-Sn(3.0)/Nb2O5 (Ru/Sn = 3.0) that reduced at 500 oC demonstrated the highest yield of GVL (98%) at 30 oC, 30 bar H2 for 3 h. The increase in Sn loading amount (Ru/Sn = 1.5) resulted in decreasing of LA conversion (83%) under the same reaction conditions. Among the studied supported Ru-Sn catalysts, Nb2O5 and ZnO supports exhibited better catalytic performances than that other for RT hydrogenation of LA and various biogenic platform chemicals. The Ru-Sn(3.0)/Nb2O5 catalyst was characterized by means of various adsorption and spectroscopic techniques. The Ru-Sn(3.0)/Nb2O5 catalyst was found to be reusable without any significant loss of its activity. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The crystal phase-dependence of ruthenium supported on titania (Ru@TiO2) catalysts on the product selectivity in the aqueous phase hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol (FFalc) was investigated. The supported ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) catalysts on TiO2 with different phases, c.a. rutile (R), anatase (A), and brookite (B) were employed. The Ru@TiO2(R) catalysed the hydrogenation-rearrangement reaction of furan ring to afford cyclopentanone/cyclopentanol (CPO/CPL) as the main product. The presence of high surface acidity in Ru@TiO2(R) catalyst promoted the hydrogenation-rearrangement of furan ring leading to CPO/CPL as the main product as indicated by NH3-TPD and pyridine-ATR-IR results. In contrast, the Ru@TiO2(A) catalyst selectively hydrogenolysed the furan ring to produce 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PeD). This high selectivity of 1,5-PeD over Ru@TiO2(A) catalyst may be affected by the high dispersion of Ru NPs on TiO2 facets as depicted by the high H2-uptake and small particle sizes.
