Abstract
Improving catalytic stability by reducing the coke formation is still important in ensuring the longevity of the catalyst, especially in acid-base sites catalyzed reactions. In this work, we successfully improved the catalytic activity and stability of ZrO2 and CeO2 catalysts in the aldol condensation of 2,5-hexanedione (HDO) to 3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone (MCP) by the Ag modification and operation in H2 flow. ZrO2 poorly catalyzed aldol condensation of HDO and was severely deactivated regardless of the reaction conditions. Similarly, the CeO2 was also deactivated during aldol condensation of HDO even though it has a milder deactivation rate than ZrO2 catalyst. The modification of ZrO2 and CeO2 with Ag and the operation in H2 flow reduced the catalyst deactivation by reducing the coke accumulation on the catalyst, while still maintaining high selectivity to MCP. Consequently, the modified ZrO2 and CeO2 catalyst could maintain their high activity under prolonged time on stream.
