Abstract

A combined study of allyl alcohol conversion over zeolite catalysts using catalytic measurements in a flow microreactor, in situ FTIR and MAS NMR spectroscopy is reported. Rate constants for the conversion in the flow reactor and the static in situ reactor used in the FTIR studies are in broad agreement, emphasising the viability of the experimental approach. In the flow microreactor allyl alcohol conversion over the zeolite catalyst is shown to form diallyl ether, hydrocarbons and acrolein. The in situ study successfully models the formation of diallyl ether and hydrocarbon as initial reaction products, but unfortunately acrolein is found to be rapidly converted to hydrocarbons under the condition used in the in situ cells. The studies are combined to provide a model for the reaction which involves two parallel pathways for the formation of the hydrocarbons and acrolein.
