Summary • Conculsion • Ni-Au/P25,Ni-Cu/P25 & Ni-Ag/P25 bimetallic systems are showing more activity and selectivity, but when compared to monometallic Ni/P25. • The strong interaction between Ni and Cu or Ag or Au was demonstrated to the main reason for the enhanced catalytic activity of catalysts. • The Electronic structure of the surface Ni atoms was modified upon the addition of Cu or Ag or Au ,so reducibility of nickel increased. • Improved the activity can be also ascribed to the high dispersion of Cu or Ag or Au on nickel nanoparticles of the bimetallic catalysts.
HYDRGENOLYSIS OF BIO-MASS DERIVED POLYOLS TO VALUE ADDED CHEMICALS R.Vijaya Shanthi,S.Sivasanker National Centre for Catalysis Research, I I T – M, Chennai.
Introduction • One of the most attractive routes of biomass utilization is its direct conversion to valuable organic compounds which gets more and more attention an ever . • An effective process for the biomass utilization is hydrogenolysis of polyalcohols derived from biomass. • Hydrogenolysis has a great potential in the conversion of biomass-derived polyols, such as sugars or sugar alcohols.
Present work • We had earlier reported studies on Ni, Pt and Ru supported on the basic support, NaY for sorbitol hydrogenolysis. (Topics in Catalysis (2012) 55:897–907.) • As a part of our investigations on the influence of the support on the performance of supported metal catalysts we have now carried out hydrogenolysis of glucose & glycerol over unconventional support, viz. Hydroxyapatite • Materials based on Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (hydroxyapatite, HAP) have attracted tremendous interest because of high stability at high temperatures and least soluble in aqueous medium which will be very useful for reactions involving aqueous medium . • Taking into account environmental and economical considerations, the handling of hydroxyapatite used as a catalyst presents many advantages such as to easier separation,recovery from the reaction mixture and thus, enhanced recycling possibilities, which are now well established in fine organic synthesis. • HAP has recently received much attention in view of its potential usefulness as adsorbent and most importantly as catalyst in solid/gas reactions.

Characterization of HAP & the catalysts Physicochemical property XRD patterns TEM images - The crystals are rod-like in shape & the particles are of approximately 20–40 nm in diameter with 40–60 nm in length.
Glycerol hydrogenolysis over metal loaded HAP Effect of temperature – 12%Ni/HAP Effect of catalysts Conditions: 15% glycerol in water; press.: 60 bar; time: 6 h; stirring speed: 300rpm; G= glycerol; PD = 1,2-propanediol & EG = ethylene glycol; A-absence of base; B-presence of base
Effect of solvent– 12%Ni/HAP Recyclability – 12%Ni/HAP The presence of base enhances the conversion & selectivity
Glucose hydrogenolysis over metal loaded Hap Conditions: 15% glucose in water; cat.: 0.2 g; temp.: 140 °C; press.: 60 bar; time: 6 h; stirring speed: 1000 rpm; S = Sorbitol; G= glycerol; PD = 1,2-propanediol & EG = ethylene glycol; trihydric(except glycerol) and higher alcohols; monohydric alcohols and :others (methanol,ethanol&butanol); Ca(OH)2 , 0.25g. Order of activity: (A) Ni/Hap > Ru/Hap > Pt/Hap (in absence of Ca(OH2). (B) Ni/Hap > Ru/Hap > Pt/Hap (in presence of Ca(OH2).
Effect of reaction parameters – 6%Ni/HAP Catalyst amount Temperature Effect of catalysts Effect of run duration – 6%Ni/HAP • Temp - 140 °C; • Catalyst - 0.2g • Run duration – 6 h Optimum conditions
Recyclability – 6%Ni/HAP (A) in the absence of Ca (OH)2and (B) in the presence of Ca(OH)2 Conditions: Temp., 140 °C; pressure, 60 bars; run duration, 6 h; catalyst, 0.2g; sorbitol, 15 g; water, 85 g; Ca(OH)2 , 0.25g. The presence of base enhances the conversion & selectivity marginally
Conclusion The influence of the support on Hydrogenolysis of glycerol & glucose was investigated over HAP metal supported catalysts. The loading of the metals was: Ni, 6%; Cu, 6 %; Ru 1 %; and Pt, 1 %. Ni/HAP & Ni/Hap were found to be the most active and selective (for glycols) amongst all the catalysts. The influences of temperature, catalyst loading and reusability on sorbitol conversion and selectivity were investigated with 6%Ni/HAP catalyst. The influence of the addition of the base Ca(OH)2 on conversion and product yields is also influenced the conversion and selectivity of both glycerol & glucose.
A general observation is that the reaction proceeds better in a basic medium, typically, in the presence of Ca(OH)2. Mechanism of the hydrogenolysis of sorbitol in the presence of a base

CO2 Photo reduction on Strontium titanate surface The large band gap sizes of early transition-metal oxides (>3.0eV) restrict their photocatalytic activities to ultraviolet wavelengths.
Modified Strontium titanate catalysts • Non metal doping (N doping) • Metal doping (Fe doping) • (a) the charge carrier recombination time is largely influenced by the presence of iron cations, (b) presence of iron induces a batho-chromic effect, and (c) iron doped photocatalyst is efficient in several important photocatalytic reduction and oxidation reaction • STO:N, Fe. Will exhibit high photocatalytic activities under vis illumination, which is due to the decrease in the oxygen vacancies because co doping maintains the charge balance.
