Reduction of Propionic Acid over a Pd-Promoted ReO x/SiO 2 Catalyst Probed by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Transient Kinetic Analysis
Abstract
A Pd-promoted Re/SiO 2 catalyst was prepared by sequential impregnation and compared to monometallic Pd/SiO 2 and Re/SiO 2. All samples were characterized by electron microscopy, H 2 and CO chemisorption, H 2 temperature-programmed reduction, and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Re L III and Pd K-edges. The samples were also tested in the reduction of propionic acid to 1-propanol and propionaldehyde at 433 K in 0.1–0.2 MPa H 2. Whereas monometallic Pd was inactive for carboxylic acid reduction, monometallic Re catalyzed aldehyde formation but only after high-temperature prereduction that produced metallic Re. When Pd was present with Re in a bimetallic catalyst, Pd facilitated the reduction of Re in H 2 to ~+4 oxidation state at modest temperatures, producing an active catalyst for the conversion of propionic acid to 1-propanol. Under the conditions of this study, the orders of reaction in propionic acid and H 2 were approximately zero and one, respectively. Transient kinetic analysis of the carboxylic acid reduction to alcohols revealed that at least 50% of the Re in the bimetallic catalyst participated in the catalytic reaction. In conclusion, the Pd is proposed to enhance the catalytic activity of the bimetallic catalyst by spilling overmore »
