Hydrogenation of succinic acid to γ-butyrolactone and 1,4-butanediol over mesoporous rhenium–copper–carbon composite catalyst

Selective cleavage of C O bond in benzyl phenyl ether to aromatics over Pd–Fe bimetallic catalyst supported on ordered mesoporous carbon

“…All the reduced catalysts showed the characteristic diffraction peak at 2Â = 23.5 • , which was attributed to graphitic nature of carbon support (dashed line in Fig. 2) [29][30][31]. The reduced Pd/OMC catalyst showed diffraction peaks at 40.1 • , 46.6 • , and 68.3 • corresponding to metallic palladium (closed circles in Fig.…”

“…1. All the catalysts exhibited type-IV isotherms with type-H3 hysteresis loops, indicating the existence of well-developed mesoporous structure [28,29]. Detailed textural properties of the catalysts are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was prepared by a single step surfactant-templating method according to the method reported in the literatures [28,29]. PEO-PPO-PEO tri-block copolymer (P123) was dissolved in 1.5 M HCl solution at 40 • C for 3 h. Sucrose (carbon precursor) and H 2 SO 4 solution were then added into the solution for 1 h under stirring.…”

A review of progress in (bio)catalytic routes from/to renewable succinic acid

“…Kang et al . conducted several studies on catalytic BDO and GBL production from SA in dioxane . In 2014, they tested Re‐Cu‐mesoporous carbon composite catalysts prepared by a single‐step surfactant‐templating method (Table , entry 1).…”

“…Kang et al conducted several studies on catalytic BDO and GBL production from SA in dioxane. [72][73][74] In 2014, they tested Re-Cu-mesoporous carbon composite catalysts prepared by a single-step surfactant-templating method ( Table 7, entry 1). Th ey found that metallic Cu and Re eff ectively interacted with the mesoporous carbon (MC) framework by an electron transfer eff ect and presented smaller catalyst sites resulting in more eff ective GBL and BDO production, compared to Re/Cu supported on MC (entries 2-4).…”
