M-WO_x/TiO₂ (M = Pt-, Rh-, Pd-, and Ru) catalysts were prepared and studied for tetrahydrofuran-dimethanol (THFDM) hydrogenolysis. All catalysts have a small metal particle size (< 2 nm) but show catalytic activities that differ by two orders of magnitude. From a combination of CO chemisorption and STEM, we conclude that this wide gap in activity is primarily due to overgrowth of WO_x/TiO₂ covering the metal particle of the less-active catalysts. This overgrowth decreases the number of exposed hydrogenation sites in these catalysts, lowering the overall reaction rate. The catalyst with the highest activity (Pt-WO_x/TiO₂) was studied at various pressures of H₂, with catalytic activity passing through a maximum with increasing pressure. This is likely due to changes in the oxidation state of W^δ+ on the catalyst surface, which changes from W⁶⁺ to W⁵⁺ and W⁴⁺ with increasing hydrogen pressure. Moreover, H₂ can strongly adsorb on the catalyst surface and inhibit the activity at high hydrogen pressure. The apparent activation energy of THFDM conversion over Pt-WO_x/TiO₂ is 47 kJ·mol^-1. Pt-WO_x/TiO₂ showed a decrease in conversion from 45% to 23% over 46 h on stream in a continuous flow reactor. Catalyst deactivation is likely due to leaching of W. THFDM can be efficiently converted to 1,2,6-hexanetriol (HTO) in the presence of Pt/TiO₂ and homogeneous W salts.
