Catalysts Loading Effect of Tungsten Oxide Catalytic Furfuryl Alcohol Oligomerization

The WO3 catalysts loading effect on furfuryl alcohol oligomerization was investigated at 100oC and ambient pressure. According to the information provided by GC and GC/MS, the conversion of furfuryl alcohol and selectivity to short chain-length oligomer (C9∼C15) and heavy oligomer (>C19) were cal...

Description
Summary:The WO3 catalysts loading effect on furfuryl alcohol oligomerization was investigated at 100oC and ambient pressure. According to the information provided by GC and GC/MS, the conversion of furfuryl alcohol and selectivity to short chain-length oligomer (C9∼C15) and heavy oligomer (>C19) were calculated with varied catalysts loading. It was found that with increasing the WO3 catalysts loading from 0.1g to 1.2g, the conversion of FA gradually increased up to 27.1% while the selectivity to short chain-length oligomer decreased then leveled off after 0.6g catalysts loading. Oligomer molecular information including C=C and C=O were also confirmed by Infrared Spectroscopy.
