Slovak UniversityofTechnology, Bratislava FacultyofChemical and FoodTechnology Dep. ofOrganicTechnology Joint Slovak-Hungarian Laboratory for Development of Catalyzed Chemical Processes of Biomass Utilization* Catalytic transformation of bio-glycerol to diols Andrej Ševčík Alexander Kaszonyi *Founded by financial support of project No. HUSK/1101/1.2.1/0318 “Chemical Processes of Biomass Utilization in the Slovak-Hungarian Frontier Region” 17thOctober, 2012, Bratislava
Diols • selective catalytic hydrogenolysis of glycerol represents a low cost and green route for 1,2-propanediol which is a major commodity chemical used in the production of antifreeze functional fluids, paints and polyester resins. • due to a presence of -OH functional groups, diols can be converted to aldehydes, esters, amines and carboxylic acids
Hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-PD Supported catalysts - Batch reactor : • Yuan (2010) - 180°C, 3 MPa, cat. CuO/MgO, conv. of GLY - 72%, sel. to 1,2-PD - 97 % • Zhao(2010) - 200°C, 6 MPa, cat. Ni/Na-X, conv. of GLY - 86 %,sel. to 1,2-PD - 94 % • Xia (2012) - 180°C, 2 MPa, cat. Cu-Pd/solid base, conv. of GLY - 70%, sel. to 1,2-PD - 98% - Down-flow reactor: • Zhou (2010) - 220°C, 4MPa, cat. CuO-ZnO-Al2O3, conv. of GLY - 81%, sel. to 1,2-PD - 93% • Zheng(2010) - 250°C, 4 MPa, cat. Cu/SBA-15, conv. of GLY - 96%, sel.to 1,2-PD - 90 %
Hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-PD Unsupported catalysts - batch reactor: • Kim(2010) - 220°C, 8 MPa, Cu-Cr-O cat., different methods of catalyst preparation (wet impregnation, co-precipitation), important is the formation of CuCr2O4 structure • different activity for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol is caused by various forms of copper in the catalyst structure • Mane (2011) - 220°C, 7 MPa, effect of promoters (Al, Ba, Zn) to Cu-Cr-O cat.
Influence of different supports to activity and selectivity of catalysts Reaction conditions: 5g catalyst, 150 °C, flow rate of GLY 1ml/h, inicial concentration of GLY 50 wt.%, flow rate of hydrogen 30ml/min, 5h time on stream
Effect of different amount of metals loaded on g-alumina Reaction conditions: 5g of catalyst (K10-0 is 10 wt.% of Cu and K5-5 is 5 wt.% of Cu and 5 wt.% of Cr), inicial concentration of GLY 50 wt.%, flow rate of GLY 1ml/h, flow rate of hydrogen 30ml/min, 5h time on stream
Hydrotalcite types of catalysts on hydrogenolysis of glycerol Reaction conditions: 5g catalyst, flow rate of GLY 1ml/h, flow rate of hydrogen 30ml/min, 5h time on stream
Aim of Work • Preparation of catalysts based on copper on different supports • Modification of these catalysts with other metals, especially with chrome • Study of the influence of catalyst preparation method and reaction conditions on the catalytic activity • Study of the influence of impurities in glycerol on properties of catalytic systems • Chemical and physical characterization of prepared catalysts • Optimization of reaction conditions with regard to maximize the yield of the diols
