Sorbitol is one of the key platform chemicals that can be applied to several industrial applications, including bio-fuels and hydrogen production. Presently there no commercial heterogeneous catalytic process produce sorbitol from cellulose due low yield high cost noble metals required for conversion. In this paper we describe an aqueous phase hydrolysis–hydrogenation convert using a cheap Ni based catalyst. Monometallic catalysts showed little activity reaction, but with addition small...
Nickel nanoparticles supported on nitrogen doped hierarchically porous carbon (Ni/CN) are found to be highly efficient and reusable catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural furfuryl alcohol (FA).
Abstract Benzaldehyde is an important chemical intermediate, which need to be prepared through eco‐friendly process. Manganese oxides are active as catalysts for its preparation partial oxidation of benzyl alcohol. In this study, Cu, Co and Mn containing spinel based mixed (Cu x 3− O 4 ) were tested alcohol get benzaldehyde with high selectivity. The catalytic activity strongly depended on composition, acid‐base properties oxygen uptake. influence reaction temperature, pressure the weight...
Abstract Catalyst precursors, their reduction protocols and reaction conditions integrally influenced the activity selectivity pattern in glycerol hydrogenolysis. Ru prepared from chloride precursor (Ru(Cl)/C−B) showed maximum to C−C cleavage products EG (56 %) methanol (17 with 23 % 1,2‐PDO. While, that nitrosyl (Ru(n)/C−B) higher 1,2‐PDO (44 lower (42 %). The catalysts either or precursors but reduced by H 2 conversion (10‐11 than NaBH 4 catalysts. For these catalysts, increased 40–43...
