Abstract
A sequence of MgO-ZrO2 mixed oxides with varying their ratios were synthesized by adopting co-precipitation method. These catalysts characteristics were deduced from different spectroscopic methods and used for vapor phase cross-ketonization of pivalic acid with acetic acid to produce pinacolone at atmospheric pressure. The characterization results indicated that at a high ZrO2 molar ratio, MgxZr1-xO2-x mixed oxide phase is formed, and it accounted for the presence of strong basic sites. MgO-ZrO2 mixed oxides ketonization activity is superior to individual oxides and the overall activity mainly depended on their molar ratio, calcination temperature, and presence of mixed oxide phase. The basicity of the MgO-ZrO2 mixed oxide catalyst is responsible for the high conversion of pivalic acid. The ketonization reaction is carried under different reaction parameters and optimized conditions were established. The catalysts are showed stability during the time on stream analysis.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
