Abstract
Background
The de-oxygenation of biomass-derived platform molecules is a necessary process to produce biofuel. Renewable resources, viz., bio-alcohol, can convert alcohol into ethers, aldehydes, and alkenes, thereby increasing the value of the biomass components. In this regard, mixed metal oxides derived from hydrotalcite materials have multi-functional (acid-base-redox) properties and are promising for such organic transformations.
Methods
Ni–Fe and silicate-intercalated Ni–Fe hydrotalcite (HT)-based catalysts were prepared using a simple co-precipitation method. The materials were thoroughly characterized and investigated for hexanol conversion in vapor phase conditions.
Findings
A layered HT structure was evident from the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) reflections. TEM and XPS analysis confirmed that the introduction of silicate anions and subsequent loading of ruthenium on HT facilitate the uniform dispersion of Ru on the HT surface. Using the silicate intercalated NiFe-HT (NF5SiRu-2C) catalyst with 2% ruthenium, a 63% hexanol conversion was observed and its catalytic activity remained the same after 24 h.
期刊介绍:
Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers (formerly known as Journal of the Chinese Institute of Chemical Engineers) publishes original works, from fundamental principles to practical applications, in the broad field of chemical engineering with special focus on three aspects: Chemical and Biomolecular Science and Technology, Energy and Environmental Science and Technology, and Materials Science and Technology. Authors should choose for their manuscript an appropriate aspect section and a few related classifications when submitting to the journal online.
