Pirmoradi, Maryam; Kastner, James R. published the artcile< A kinetic model of multi-step furfural hydrogenation over a Pd-TiO2 supported activated carbon catalyst>, Related Products of 97-99-4, the main research area is furfural hydrogenation palladium titanium activated carbon catalyst kinetic model.
The multi-step, aqueous phase hydrogenation kinetics of furfural (FUR) to furfuryl alc. (FA), 2-methylfuran (2MF), tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. (THFA) and 5-hydroxy-2-pentanone (5H2P) over Pd-TiO2 on an activated carbon catalyst (derived from a monolith structure) was studied (180°C, 2.1 MPa). Titanium addition created a metal-acid functional catalyst and promoted 5H2P synthesis from furfural. A Langmuir-Hinshelwood model with two active sites (a metal site for hydrogenation steps and an acid site for ring opening step) was applied to fit the kinetic data and parameters of the reaction system were obtained using non-linear regression of exptl. data. The kinetic model showed an acceptable agreement with the exptl. data with R2 of 0.93-0.96 and concentration residuals (exptl.-model) typically ≤ 5%. Adsorption constants of 2MF and THFA were significantly lower than the adsorption constants of the other three compounds A reaction rate constant of 1.6-1.8 mol/gcat.h for furfural consumption was predicted by the model. Reaction rates of 0.2-0.35 mol/gcat.h, 0.1-0.13 mol/gcat.h and 0.8-1.0 mol/gcat.h were predicted for formation of 2-methylfuran, tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. and 5-hydroxy-2-pentanone, resp. External and internal mass transfer criterion indicate intrinsic rate parameters were estimated and indicate the model can be used to perform monolithic reactor design for aqueous phase hydrogenation of furfural.
