Abstract
Sugar compounds are an important part of biomass resources, and their catalytic conversion can prepare a series of platform compounds, such as lactic acid and polyols. One of the key steps is the isomerization of aldoses to ketoses. However, finding a simple method to efficiently convert aldoses to ketoses remains a great challenge. Herein, we report a core–shell structured catalyst, Pt/SiO2@Mg(OH)2, for the efficient conversion of xylose as well as the further conversion of xylose to xylulose. Xylose, a five-carbon sugar unit with the highest content in biomass, was used as the object of study to determine the optimal reaction conditions in the aqueous system by adjusting the loading amount of Mg(OH)2, catalyst addition, reaction temperature, and reaction time: In the optimum aqueous conditions, the yield of xylulose was 23.61%. We also investigated the effect of solvent effects on the hydrothermal reaction and determined the optimal solvent ratio, the yield of xylulose reached 31.74% at H2O:MeOH (8:2). We anticipate that this research result can provide a theoretical basis and reference for the industrialized production of subsequent sugar isomerization.
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.
