Abstract
Mechanistic aspects of the higher alcohol synthesis (HAS) over a ZnCrO sample are investigated by flow-microreactor experiments of 1-propanol. Results indicate that the catalyst can promote a number of chemical functions including hydrogenation/dehydrogenation, ‘normal’ and ‘reversal’ aldolic-type condensation, ketonization, α-addition, dehydration. On comparing the data with those obtained over a K-promoted sample it appears that the alkali dopant does not affect the reactivity of ZnCrO towards hydrogenation/dehydrogenation and ‘normal’ aldolic-type condensation, is essential for ‘reversal’ aldolic-type condensation and α-addition, favors ketonization and essentially suppresses the dehydration function. Thus the alkali promoter, besides playing a crucial role in the C1→C2 step, significantly affects the chain growth mechanisms involving C2+ oxygenates and effectively preserves oxygenate molecules towards the production of undesired hydrocarbons by dehydration.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Molecular Catalysis (China) is a bimonthly journal, founded in 1987. It is a bimonthly journal, founded in 1987, sponsored by Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and published by Science Publishing House, which is a scholarly journal openly circulated both at home and abroad. The journal mainly reports the latest progress and research results on molecular catalysis. It contains academic papers, research briefs, research reports and progress reviews. The content focuses on coordination catalysis, enzyme catalysis, light-ribbed catalysis, stereochemistry in catalysis, catalytic reaction mechanism and kinetics, the study of catalyst surface states and the application of quantum chemistry in catalysis. We also provide contributions on the activation, deactivation and regeneration of homogeneous catalysts, solidified homogeneous catalysts and solidified enzyme catalysts in industrial catalytic processes, as well as on the optimisation and characterisation of catalysts for new catalytic processes.
The main target readers are scientists and postgraduates working in catalysis in research institutes, industrial and mining enterprises, as well as teachers and students of chemistry and chemical engineering departments in colleges and universities. Contributions from related professionals are welcome.
