Acid–Base and Catalytic Properties of Sulfated Mesoporous Titanium Oxide in Glycerol Oligomerization

The structural and spectral characteristics of sulfated spherical mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO 2 -S), obtained by hydrothermal sol–gel synthesis in the presence of sulfuric acid, are studied by XRD, SEM, BET, and IR spectroscopy. The acid–base and catalytic characteristics of TiO 2 -S and commer...

Description
Summary:The structural and spectral characteristics of sulfated spherical mesoporous titanium dioxide (TiO 2 -S), obtained by hydrothermal sol–gel synthesis in the presence of sulfuric acid, are studied by XRD, SEM, BET, and IR spectroscopy. The acid–base and catalytic characteristics of TiO 2 -S and commercial TiO 2 in the oligomerization of glycerol are compared. The activation of glycerol on the surface of the catalysts is studied by attenuated total reflectance Fourier IR spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). It is found the high selectivity for diglycerides in the oligomerization of glycerol is determined by the presence of strong base sites on the surface of TiO 2 -S.
