Mulik, Nagesh published the artcileSynergetic combination of H2Zr1PW12O40 and Sn-Beta as potential solid acid catalyst for direct one-step transformation of glucose to ethyl levulinate, a biofuel additive, SDS of cas: 539-88-8, the main research area is Bronsted Lewis acid catalyst glucose ethyl levulinate biofuel additive.
Et levulinate (EL) has found wide applications as chems. and biofuel additives. Efficient catalytic conversion of abundantly available glucose to ELs over solid acid catalyst having optimum Bronsted (B) and Lewis (L) acidity is highly appreciated. Present work demonstrated, direct one-step synthesis of EL from glucose over synergized Bronsted (H2Zr1PW12O40) and Lewis (Sn-Beta) acid catalyst. H2Zr1PW12O40 is prepared by exchanging H+ of tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40-heteropolyacid) with Zr, improves the heterogeneity in polar medium by 50%. The combination of a phys. mixture of H2Zr1PW12O40 + Sn-Beta with 80:20 weight ratio was found to be optimum for the maximum EL yield formation of 54% from glucose at 180°C for 3 h, which is probably the highest than reported over the heterogeneous catalyst in ethanol medium. An optimal combination of B and L catalyst and its ratio is found to be crucial for the direct transformation of glucose to EL in one step. The present study also explored that this combined phys. mixture of H2Zr1PW12O40 + Sn-Beta can tolerate glucose concentration up to 30 g/L, which is probably the higher than reported. © 2019 American Institute of Chem.
