Abstract

Abstract:

Cu nanoparticles supported on a variety of oxide supports, including SiO₂, TiO₂, ZrO₂, Al₂O₃, MgO and ZnO, were investigated for the hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived furfuryl alcohol to 1,2-pentanediol and 1,5-pentanediol. A Cu-Al₂O₃ catalyst with 10 wt% Cu loading prepared by a co-precipitation method exhibited the best performance in terms of producing pentanediols compared with the other materials. This catalyst generated an 85.8% conversion and a 70.3% combined selectivity for the target pentanediols at 413 K and 8 MPa H₂ over an 8-h reaction. The catalyst could also be recycled over repeated reaction trials without any significant decrease in productivity. Characterizations with X-ray diffraction, NH₃/CO₂-temperature programmed desorption, N₂ adsorption, transmission electron microscopy and N₂O chemisorption demonstrated that intimate and effective interactions between Cu particles and the acidic Al₂O₃ support in this material greatly enhanced its activity and selectivity. The promotion of the hydrogenolysis reaction was found to be especially sensitive to the Cu particle size, and the catalyst with Cu particles 1.9 to 2.4 nm in size showed the highest turnover frequency during the synthesis of pentanediols.

Key words: Furfuryl alcohol, 1,2-Pentanediol, 1,5-Pentanediol, Selective hydrogenolysis, Cu-Al catalyst
