Hydrolytic Hydrogenation of Cellulose with the Use of the Ru-containing Polymeric Catalysts
Authors: , , , , , , , ,
Abstract: The study presents the results of cellulose hydrolytic hydrogenation process in subcritical water in the presence of Ru-containing catalysts based on hypercrosslinked polystyrene (HPS) MN-270 and its functionalized analogues: $$NH_{2}-HPS (MN-100) $$ and $$SO_{3}H-HPS (MN-500)$$. It was shown that the replacement of the traditional support (carbon) by HPS increases the yield of the main cellulose conversion products – polyols – important intermediates for the chemical industry. The catalysts were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM, and porosity measurements. Catalytic studies demonstrated that the catalyst containing 1.0% Ru and based on MN-270 is the most active. The total yield of sorbitol and mannitol was 50% on the average at 85% cellulose conversion.
