Abstract

In this paper, the effect of Ru in the catalyst of Pt/WOx/Al2O3 on glycerol hydrogenolysis to 1,3-propanediol was studied. The 1 wt% Ru-added 2Pt/WOx/Al2O3 catalyst with 2 wt% Pt content demonstrated high activity for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol compared to Pt/WOx/Al2O3. The conversion of glycerol over 2Pt-1Ru/WOx/Al2O3 catalyst was 90.4%, while that of 2Pt/WOx/Al2O3 catalyst was 69.7%. The catalytic activity of 2Pt-1Ru/WOx/Al2O3 was systematically investigated under various reaction conditions, including reaction time, temperature and hydrogen pressure, to optimize the reaction conditions. Based on various characterizations, Pt-Ru particles are finely dispersed on the support of WOx/Al2O3. Compared with the Pt particle size, which was 0.5 to 1.97 nm before and after the catalyst reaction, respectively, the Pt-Ru particle size was 0.67 to 1.37 nm. This phenomenon revealed that the Ru additive could restrain the condensation of metal particles. Meanwhile, it also be found that the Ru additive is favor to the redox cycle of W6+  ↔ W5+, enhance the adsorption capability of hydrogen and increase the amount of medium strength acid sites and Brønsted acidic sites in catalyst.
