Selective gas-phase oxidation of ethanol by molecular oxygen in the oxide and gold catalysts
Abstract
Bio alcohols, especially bio-ethanol, due to the rapid growth of its production may be a promising renewable chemical feedstock for the production of many useful products of organic synthesis. In order to develop new «green» technologies of ethanol in the valueadded products the authors conducted a systematic study of the selective conversion of ethanol oxidation in molecular oxygen in the gas-phase flow regime on these catalysts, as V2O5–TiO2, mixed oxides of V–Mo–Te, V–Mo–Nb and V–Mo–Te–Nb, as well as gold, deposited on oxide supports. The catalytic activity was determined in a temperature-programmed reaction at atmospheric pressure in the gas mixture composition (mol%): EtOH – 2, O2 – 18, He – 80, with a mixture of volume flow rate 3600 h–1, a catalyst fraction 0,25–0,5 mm. In some cases, there is the possibility of efficient conversion of ethanol into the products of partial oxidation and related transformations – acetaldehyde (yield 90–99 %), acetic acid (yield 92–98 %, the performance of > 3 g g-cat.–1 h–1), a mixture of acetic acid and ethyl acetate (ratio ~ 1 : 1, the total yield of > 90 %).
