The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis(TG), Nadsorption–desorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electronic microscopy(SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Results showed that the catalysts had well-dispersed Ru active sites and large surface area for calcination temperature ranging from 300 to 500 ℃. The conversion of biomass-derived furfural into 2-methylfuran was conducted over Ru/NiFeOthrough catalytic transfer hydrogenation in liquid-phase with 2-propanol as the hydrogen source. A significantly enhanced activity and increased 2-methylfuran yield have been achieved in this study. Under mild conditions(180 ℃ and 2.1 MPa N), the conversion of furfural exceeds 97% and 2-methylfuran yield was up to 83% over the catalyst containing 8 wt% Ru. After five repeated uses, the catalytic activity and the corresponding product yield remained almost unchanged. The excellent catalytic activity and recycling performance provide a broad prospects for various practical applications.展开更多

The obtained samples were highly crystallized with minor mixed phases as evidenced by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD). The alkaline treated ZSM-48 zeolites maintained its structure under different concentrations of Na OH aqueous solution. Micropores remained unchanged while mesopores with wide pore size distribution formed after the alkaline treatment. The surface area increased from 228 to 288 m;/g. The Br?nsted acid sites had little alteration while an obvious increase of Lewis acid sites was observed. The hydroisomerization of hexadecane was performed as the model reaction to test the effects of the alkali treatment. The conversion of hexadecane had almost no change, which was attributed to the preservation of the Br?nsted acid sites. While high selectivity to iso-hexadecane with an improved iso to normal ratio of alkanes was due to the mesopore formation and improved diffusivity.展开更多

It was found that BET surface area of Ru/HY catalysts significantly increases after HC1 treatment. This treatment also increases the concentration of strong acid sites in the catalyst. The hydrogenolysis of glycerol over 5 wt% Ru/HY catalyst was investigated at 190-220℃ , an initial H2 pressure of 3-6 MPa, and in 20 wt% glycerol aqueous solution, The results indicate that HC1 treated Ru/HY catalyst shows higher activity compared with the untreated Ru/HY catalyst, and that the glycerol hydrogenolysis efficiency is influenced by the porosity and acidity of the support. A selectivity to 1,2-PDO of 81.3% at a glycerol conversion of 60.1% under 3 MPa H2 pressure and 220 ℃ for 10 h was achieved over the modified Ru/HY catalyst with a 1.0 mol/L HC1 treatment. It has also been shown that a longer reaction time, a higher temperature and a higher H2 pressure have the positive effects on the glycerol hydrogenolysis efficiency of the enhanced Ru/HY.展开更多

Sulfide catalysts have been proved to have good activity for the HDO and particularly high selectivity to phenolic products. Herein, we presented a novel way to prepare the layered structure sulfide catalysts(MgFeMo-S) derived from MgFe hydrotalcites via the intercalation of Mo in consideration of the memory effect of the calcined hydrotalcite. By varying the Mg/Fe mole ratio, a series of MgFeMo-S catalysts were successfully prepared and characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer(ICP-OES). The characterization results indicated that the MgFeMo-S catalyst has retained the unique layered structure, which can facilitate uniform dispersion of the MoS2 species on both the surface and interlayer of the catalysts. For the HDO of eugenol, the Mg1Fe2Mo-S catalysts exhibited the best HDO activity among all the catalysts due to its higher active metal contents and larger pore size. The HDO conversion was 99.6% and the yield of phenolics was 63.7%, under 5 MPa initial H2 pressure(measured at RT) at 300 ℃ for 3 h. More importantly,MoS2 species deposited on the interlayer galleries in the MgFeMo-S catalysts resulted in dramatically superior HDO activity to MoS2/Mg1Fe2-S catalyst. Based on the mechanism investigation for eugenol, the HDO reaction route of eugenol under sulfide catalytic system has been proposed for the first time. Further applicability of the catalyst on HDO of more lignin-derived compounds was operated, which showed good HDO activity and selectivity to produce aromatic products.展开更多
