Abstract
Development of effective cesium-based catalyst is important for methyl methacrylate (MMA) production via one-step aldol reaction. Herein, a kind of Cs/Zr-SiO2 catalyst was prepared by sol–gel method and the acid-base properties and their balance could be controllably regulated. The influence of catalyst preparation conditions including Si/Zr ratio and water content on the structure and acid-base properties of Cs/Zr-SiO2 was demonstrated, which consequentially affected catalytic performance. The formation of Si-O-Zr and Cs-O-Si structure was identified as the dominant Lewis acid and base sites and the acid site density can be enhanced by 1-fold when using sol–gel method. In addition, the MP conversion could reach 37 % with MMA selectivity of 85 % at the optimal condition. Kinetic studies revealed that the activation barrier on the modified 10Cs/Zr-SiO2 exhibited the lowest activation energy of 110.9 kJ/mol. Besides, the initial catalytic activity could still maintain after 800 h recycling, with single-pass life of 160 h.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
