Abstract:

A series of MoO3/SiO2 catalysts was prepared by impregnation and was employed to produce allyl alcohol from glycerol. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), N2 Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(N2-BET), NH3 temperature programmed desorption(NH3-TPD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) of pyridine adsorption. From glycerol to allyl alcohol, the effects of catalyst loading, reaction temperature, glycerol concentration, and gas hourly space velocity(GHSV) on the catalytic performance of MoO3/SiO2 were investigated in a fix-bed reactor. Under the optimal reaction conditions of 1%(mass fraction) loading, reaction temperature of 330 ℃, atmospheric pressure, 40%(mass fraction) of glycerol concentration and GHSV of 200 h-1, glycerol conversion, selectivity for allyl alcohol and the space time yield of allyl alcohol can be as high as 92.1%, 34.8% and 6.0 mmol·g-1·h-1, respectively.
