Vapor-Phase Oxidant-Free Dehydrogenation of 2,3- and 1,4-Butanediol over Cu/SiO2 Catalyst Prepared by Crown-Ether-Assisted Impregnation
A silica-supported copper (Cu/SiO2) catalyst containing highly dispersed Cu nanoparticles was prepared via a crown-ether-assisted impregnation method. A 12-crown-4-ether-assisted Cu/SiO2 catalyst outperformed several Cu/SiO2 catalysts prepared with various organic additives in the dehydrogenation of...

Summary: | A silica-supported copper (Cu/SiO2) catalyst containing highly dispersed Cu nanoparticles was prepared via a crown-ether-assisted impregnation method. A 12-crown-4-ether-assisted Cu/SiO2 catalyst outperformed several Cu/SiO2 catalysts prepared with various organic additives in the dehydrogenation of 2,3- and 1,4-butanediol. It was found that the catalytic activity, i.e., the formation rate of acetoin from 2,3-butanediol and that of γ-butyrolactone from 1,4-butanediol, was proportional to the copper surface area. |
