Ji, Na published the artcileA novel Ni/AC catalyst prepared by MOCVD method for hydrogenation of ethyl levulinate to γ-valerolactone, Product Details of C7H12O3, the main research area is nickel catalyst prepared vapor deposition ethyl levulinate hydrogenation valerolactone.
GVL (γ-valerolactone) is identified as an important biomass platform mol. due to its wide application. In this work, a series of novel supported Ni catalysts with different supports and Ni loading were synthesized via metal-organic chem. vapor deposition (MOCVD) method for the hydrogenation of EL (Et levulinate) to GVL. Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the as-synthesized catalysts. The results showed that the 2 weight% Ni/AC(MOCVD) presented superior catalytic activity when compared with the catalyst prepared by impregnation method. This behavior is explained in terms of the smaller Ni nanoparticles (4.28 nm) and higher dispersion on 2 weight% Ni/AC(MOCVD). Among the catalysts, the 2 weight% Ni/AC catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance with 99.7% EL conversion and 79.8% GVL yield under 1 MPa initial H2 pressure (measured at room temperature) at 250°C for 2 h. In addition, the reaction conditions were optimized and the stability of the catalyst were also investigated. The insights gained from this study in the design of high dispersed Ni particles with smaller particle size via MOCVD method will facilitate the metal-catalyzed hydrogenation of EL to GVL.
