Abstract
Re-modified Pt/SiO2–Al2O3 catalysts, which were active for the direct hydrotreating of jatropha oil into C18 hydrocarbons, were found to be effective for glucose transformation into C6 alkanes. At 350 °C and glucose/catalyst weight ratio of 2, the highest glucose conversion of 100 % was achieved with selectivity to C6 alkanes of 57.1 %. The reaction pathway involves glucose hydrocracking to form C6 polyols, followed by deoxyhydration and subsequent C=C bond hydrogenation by synergistic effect of Pt and Re.
