Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments. Computed Properties of C6H12O3. Introducing a new discovery about 2144-40-3, Name is (cis-Tetrahydrofuran-2,5-diyl)dimethanol
Hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) was examined by PdxAuy/C catalysts prepared with various Pd/Au molar ratio (x/y) in the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) under an atmospheric hydrogen pressure. Bimetallic PdxAuy/C catalysts had a significant activity for a selective hydrogenation of HMF toward DMF comparing to monometallic Pd/C and Au/C catalysts. To clarify the novelty of PdxAuy/C catalysts, characterizations by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray absorption spectra (XAFS), a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and other analytical techniques were studied. XPS and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analyses indicated that there was the charge transfer phenomenon from Pd to Au atoms in PdxAuy/C. Existence of PdAu alloy structures in PdxAuy/C was expected by XRD, TEM and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analyses. Accordingly, we concluded that PdAu alloys supported carbon exhibited a good catalytic performance for a selective hydrogenation of HMF to DMF using an atmospheric hydrogen pressure.
In conclusion, we affirm that quantitative kinetic descriptions of catalytic behavior intended to model and to implement such knowledge in the development of new catalytic chemistries. Read on for other articles about 2144-40-3
