ONE-STEP SYNTHESIS OF GLYCIDOL FROM GLYCEROL IN GAS-PHASE FIXED-BED CONTINOUS FLOW REACTOR OVER ALKALI METAL PROMOTED ALUMINOSILICATE ZEOLITE CATALYST

The present invention relates to the use of alkali metal promoted aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst for the direct gas-phase conversion of glycerol to glycidol, as well as to a process for the production of glycidol from glycerol in a fixed-bed continuous flow reactor in the presence of such a heterogeneous catalyst. The method comprises conversion of glycerol to glycidol in the range of temperature 250-450 °C, glycerol concentration 1-60 wt%, total gas hourly space velocity 100-2500 h-1, weight of catalyst 0.5-5.0…

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION OF ALLYL ALCOHOL: GAS-PHASE CONVERSION OF GLYCEROL OVER METALS PROMOTED ALUMINOSILICATE ZEOLITE CATALYSTS IN A FIXED-BED CONTINUOUS FLOW REACTOR

The present invention relates to the use of a tri-metallic promoted aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst for the direct gas-phase conversion of glycerol to allyl alcohol, as well as to a process for the production of allyl alcohol from glycerol in a fixed-bed continuous flow reactor in the presence of such heterogeneous catalysts. The method comprises conversion of glycerol to allyl alcohol in the range of temperature 250-450 °C, glycerol concentration 1-60 wt%, total gas hourly space velocity 100-2000 h-1, the weight…

SUSTAINABLE PROCESS FOR PRODUCING MUCONIC, HEXENEDIOIC AND ADIPIC ACID (AND THEIR ESTERS) FROM ALDARIC ACIDS BY HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS

The Institute’s invention is a process based on selective dehydroxylation of aldaric acids derived from C6 oxidized sugars. The selective dehydroxylation is carried out in the presence of a heterogeneous carbon supported rhenium catalyst (Re/C) and a short chain primary or secondary alcohol (MeOH, EtOH, 2-PrOH,…). Under an inert (N2) atmosphere, unsaturated dimethyl ester of a C6 dicarboxylic acid is formed. If H2 is present in the gas phase, it is dissolved in MeOH and adsorbed on the catalyst surface,…
