An attempt to improve Ag-based catalysts for allyl alcohol oxidative dehydrogenation to acrolein

Ag-Based Catalysts in Heterogeneous Selective Oxidation of Alcohols: A Review

“…The bulk alloyed and supported Ag catalysts were used in oxidative dehydrogenation of allyl alcohol to acrolein [77]. High activity and selectivity towards acrolein were achieved in the range of 340-380 • C. Alloying of silver with Au or Cu was shown to improve the catalyst activity, but reduced its selectivity leading to low acrolein yields.…”

Screening of catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethyl lactate to ethyl pyruvate, and optimization of the best catalysts

“…The second family consisting of metallic silver, in bulk or supported form, are industrial catalysts of choice for dehydrogenation reactions. They have been used for the production of formaldehyde from methanol, and are very effective for the conversion of allyl alcohol to acrolein, and ethanol to acetaldehyde [19][20][21][22]. The use of silica-supported metallic silver for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethyl lactate has been patented [23].…”

Perspectives for the Upgrading of Bio‐Based Vicinal Diols within the Developing European Bioeconomy

“…Another key C 3 olefin compound is prop-2-en-1-ol (allyl alcohol, 3), which is involved in numerous organic synthesis such as preparation of polymer crosslinking agents, resin, coatings and serves as feedstock for various value-added chemical intermediates for the manufacturing of high value added 2,3-epoxy-1propanol (glycidol, 4), 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane (epichlorohydrin, 5), butane-1,4-diol (6), prop-2-enal (7) and prop-2-enoic acid (acrylic acid, 8) to name a few. [55][56][57][58][59] Allyl alcohol 3 can be obtained through the DODH of GL and the primary and patent literature have witnessed an increase in related process technologies. Currently, the global production of olefin 3 mostly relies on fossil resources with an estimated market size of 0.1 Mt y À 1 and prices ranging from 2.2-3.2 US$ per kg.…”

“…Hence, a complementary DODH production scheme feeding on EG is certainly of interest, although no development has been undertaken in that direction. Another key C 3 olefin compound is prop‐2‐en‐1‐ol (allyl alcohol, 3 ), which is involved in numerous organic synthesis such as preparation of polymer crosslinking agents, resin, coatings and serves as feedstock for various value‐added chemical intermediates for the manufacturing of high value added 2,3‐epoxy‐1‐propanol (glycidol, 4 ), 1‐chloro‐2,3‐epoxypropane (epichlorohydrin, 5 ), butane‐1,4‐diol ( 6 ), prop‐2‐enal ( 7 ) and prop‐2‐enoic acid (acrylic acid, 8 ) to name a few [55–59] . Allyl alcohol 3 can be obtained through the DODH of GL and the primary and patent literature have witnessed an increase in related process technologies.…”
