Abstract
Ketonization of methyl palmitate to palmitone, a bio-lube precursor, was investigated over noble metal (Pt, Ru, and Pd) incorporated TiO2 catalysts in the presence of water under an atmospheric H2/N2 flow. Methyl palmitate underwent hydrolysis to palmitic acid that ketonized to palmitone over Lewis Ti3+ sites. The water co-feeding also suppressed hydrodeoxygenation of methyl palmitate and palmitone cracking leading to high palmitone selectivity. The incorporated metals facilitated H2 dissociation/spillover on TiO2 which generated more Lewis Ti3+ sites for higher ketonization activity. At 400 °C, 0.5Pd/TiO2 provided ∼90% conversion with >85% palmitone selectivity and >25 h stability, due to its efficient H2 dissociation/spillover to continually recover Lewis Ti3+ sites. Meanwhile 0.5Pt/TiO2 promoted excessive hydrodeoxygenation, leading to the deactivation from CO poisoning at the metallic Pt sites. The findings of this study offer a sustainable approach for the selective production of bio-lube precursors from renewable fatty acid methyl esters.
