Abstract

The introduction of Al into SiO₂-supported cesium oxide (Cs/SiO₂) promoted catalytic activity for the dehydration of 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) to propylene oxide (PO). This improvement was attributed to the promotion of CsNO₃ decomposition and the ability of Al to keep the morphology of the SiO₂-supported catalyst, even though the Al component slightly reduced the concentration of the base site. The optimum molar component of Al was proven to improve the activity of Cs/SiO₂ catalyst, while maintaining a low rate of side reactions, such as isomerization of PO to allyl alcohol and dehydration of 1,2-PDO to propanal. Several parameters, such as reaction temperature, contact time, Cs₈Al₂ content, and Al molar component influenced catalytic activity and product distributions. The poisoning experiment by use of CO₂ revealed the importance of the base sites of Cs₈Al₂/SiO₂ catalyst, while the role of acid sites was negligible as confirmed by the poisoning experiment with NH₃.

期刊介绍： Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications. Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
