Abstract

Polyoxometalates are large metal–oxygen nanostructured compounds that can be modified at the molecular level. Catalysts based on 12-tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) supported on different carries such as silica, silica–alumina, zirconia, and mesoporous MCM-41 have been successfully prepared and characterized by several physicochemical techniques (e.g., FTIR, FT-Raman, 31P MAS-NMR, calorimetry, thermal analysis, TPD of pyridine). The materials were tested in different reactions: transalkylation of benzene with aromatics, esterification of acetic acid and ethanol, esterification of oleic acid with ethanol, and cyclization of (+)-citronellal. The results, coupled with other applications of heteropoly acids in the literature, illustrate the potential for these catalysts to be used in greener processes, i.e., a more effective, selective, economical, and environmentally benign technique. The effects of support interaction, loading of H3PW12O40, calcination temperature and stability, leaching, and acidity were addressed for all studied catalysts. These data were correlated to the conversion and/or selectivity of the main product and were used for recovery of the catalysts. Moreover, it was clear that the strength of interaction of the heteropoly acid with the surface support as well as the acidity define the capacity of utilization of these catalysts. Effective ways to recovery the initial activity is still a challenge to take full advantage of these materials.
