Abstract

The phase composition, microstructure, and catalytic properties of the samples of ZrO2 and CeO2-ZrO2 calcined in air at 450–500°C in the ketonization reaction of pentanoic acid were studied. It was found that ZrO2 of tetragonal and monoclinic modifications is characterized by sufficiently high activity and selectivity for 5-nonanone; the yield of 5-nonanone was 66.3–64.9%. The modification of zirconium dioxide with cerium oxide leads to the formation of a substitutional solid solution based on tetragonal ZrO2. Upon the addition of CeO2 in an optimum amount of 10 wt % to zirconium dioxide, an increase in the conversion of pentanoic acid was observed with the retention of high selectivity for the target product, which led to an increase in the yield of 5-nonanone to 73.3%. Based on the results of physicochemical studies performed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the physicochemical and catalytic properties of the test catalysts were compared.
