It was found that the surfactant could induce Co nanocrystals to form nanowires as structure-directing agent, while it's ineffective for Cu because only spherical Cu particles were produced under the same condition. When Co2+ and Cu2+ coexist in polyol, Cu2+ is firstly reduced and forms the spherical particles, and then the Cu particles afford surface for the subsequential reduction of Co2+ and growth of Co nanocrystals to form the nanorods, obtaining the urchin-like CoCu nanocomposites. The catalytic performance in selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propanediols proposed that the CoCu urchin-like nanocomposites was superior to the Co nanowires possibly due to that the synergistic effect between Co and Cu component promoted conversion of glyc- erol and obtained the higher propanediol yields based on the specific surface areas of the catalysts.展开更多

In previous studies, chemoselective performances were found de‐manding and sensitive to H2 pressure. In this regard, we manipulate the chemical/physical charac‐teristics of the catalyst supports via doping Nb into WOx and prepared 1D needle‐, 2D flake‐, and 3D sphere‐stack mesoporous structured Nb‐WOx with increased surface acid sites. Moreover, Nb dop‐ing can successfully inhibit the over‐reduction of active W species during glycerol hydrogenolysis and substantially broaden the optimal H2 pressure from 1 to 5 MPa. When Nb doping is 2%, sup‐ported Pt catalysts showed promising performance for the selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,3‐PD over an unprecedentedly wide H2 pressure range, which will guarantee better catalyst sta‐bility in the long run, as well as expand their applications to other hydrogen‐related reactions.展开更多

The characterization results showed that doping of Au promoted the reduction of both Pt and W at low temperatures and uniform dispersion of Pt on the WO_3 support. Furthermore, more low-valence Pt species were produced on the WO_3 surface after introduction of Au. These changes in electronic properties resulted in enhancement of both glycerol conversion and selectivity for 1,3-propanediol.展开更多

The scheme is based on the Augmented Integrated System Optimization and Parameter Estimation (AI- SOPE) technique, but a linearization of some performance function in the modified model-based optimization problem of AISOPE is introduced to overcome the difficulty of determining an appropriate penalty parameter. When carrying out the iterative optimization, the penalty coefficient is set to a larger value at the current iteration than at the previous iteration, which can promote the evolution rate of the iterative optimization. Simulation studies illustrate the potential ofthe approach presented for the optimizing control of the bioTdissimilation process of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol. The effects of measurement noise, measured and unmeasured disturbances on the proposed algorithm are also investigated.展开更多

Based on a dehydration-hydrogenation two-step hydrogenolysis mechanism,a two-site Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model taking into account competitive adsorption of glycerol,acetol and propylene glycol was proposed and successfully fitted to the experimental data.The average relative errors between observed and predicted outlet concentrations of glycerol and propylene glycol were 6.3%and 7.6%,respectively.The kinetic and adsorption parameters were estimated by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method together with the Rosenbrock algorithm.The activation energies for dehydration and hydrogenation reactions were 86.56 and 57.80 kJ·mol-1,respectively.展开更多
