Abstract

Microkinetic models based on first principles calculations have been developed for the vapor and liquid phase hydrodeoxygenation of propionic acid over a Pt (1 1 1) surface. Calculations suggest that decarboxylation does not occur at an appreciable rate. In the vapor phase, decarbonylation products, propanal and propanol are all produced at similar rates. However, in both liquid water and 1,4-dioxane, propanol and propanal are favored over decarbonylation products. While a condensed phase can shift the reaction rate and selectivity significantly, the dominant pathways towards the various products are hardly affected. Only for propanal production do we observe a shift in mechanism. At 473 K, the propionic acid conversion rate is increased by one order of magnitude in liquid 1,4-dioxane relative to the gas phase. In liquid water, the conversion rate is similar to the vapor phase since adsorbed propionic acid blocks a large fraction of the surface sites.

Investigation of the reaction mechanism of the hydrodeoxygenation of propionic acid over a Rh(1 1 1) surface: A first principles study

Journal Article Yang, Wenqiang ; Solomon, Rajadurai Vijay ; Mamun, Osman ; ... - Journal of Catalysis

Microkinetic models based on first principles calculations have been used to study the vapor and liquid phase hydrodeoxygenation of propionic acid on a Rh(111) surface. Calculations suggest that both decarboxylation and decarbonylation do not occur at an appreciable rate under all reaction environments. Propanol and propionaldehyde are the main products on this surface and they are produced at similar rates in both vapor and liquid phase environments. While a condensed phase can shift the reaction rate, the dominant pathways and selectivity towards the various products are hardly affected. At 473 K, the turnover frequency is increased by about a factormore »« less

Theoretical Investigation of Solvent Effects on the Hydrodeoxygenation of Propionic Acid over a Ni(111) Catalyst Model

Journal Article Zare, Mehdi ; Solomon, Rajadurai Vijay ; Yang, Wenqiang ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

The effect of two solvents, liquid water and 1,4-dioxane, has been studied from first-principles on the hydrodeoxygenation of propionic acid over a Ni(111) catalyst surface model. A mean-field microkinetic model was developed to investigate these effects at a temperature of 473 K. Under all reaction conditions, a decarbonylation mechanism is favored significantly over a decarboxylation pathway. Although no significant solvent effects were observed on the decarbonylation rate, a substantial solvent stabilization of two key surface intermediates in the decarboxylation mechanism, CH₃CCOO and CH₃CHCOO, leads to a notable increase of the decarboxylation rate by 2 orders of magnitude in liquid watermore »« less

Solvation Effects in the Hydrodeoxygenation of Propanoic Acid over a Model Pd(211) Catalyst

Journal Article Behtash, Sina ; Lu, Jianmin ; Mamun, Osman ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

The effects of liquid water and 1,4-dioxane on the hydrodeoxygenation of propionic acid over Pd(211) model surfaces have been studied from first principles. Here, a microkinetic model with parameters obtained from density functional theory and implicit solvation models was developed to study the effects of these solvents on the reaction mechanism and kinetic parameters. In the presence of water, dehydrogenated derivatives of propionic acid and propionate are stabilized, and a new decarboxylation mechanism involving CH₃CCOOH surface species is facilitated, leading to a higher decarboxylation rate. However, stronger adsorption of CO in the presence of liquid water resulted in fewer freemore »« less

Prediction of Adsorption Energies for Chemical Species on Metal Catalyst Surfaces Using Machine Learning

Journal Article Chowdhury, Asif J. ; Yang, Wenqiang ; Walker, Eric ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Computational catalyst screening has the potential to significantly accelerate heterogeneous catalyst discovery. Typically, this involves developing microkinetic reactor models that are based on parameters obtained from density functional theory and transition-state theory. To reduce the large computational cost involved in computing various adsorption and transition-state energies of all possible surface states on a large number of catalyst models, linear scaling relations for surface intermediates and transition states have been developed that only depend on a few, typically one or two descriptors, such as the carbon atom adsorption energy. As a result, only the descriptor values have to be computed formore »« less

Investigation of solvent effects in the hydrodeoxygenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone over Ru catalysts

Journal Article Mamun, Osman ; Saleheen, Mohammad ; Bond, Jesse Q. ; ... - Journal of Catalysis

Liquid phase, reductive deoxygenation of biomass derived platform chemicals over transition metal surfaces constitutes an efficient scheme for upgrading lignocellulosic biomass. The solvation effects on the reaction kinetics of the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of levulinic acid (LA) towards the formation of γ-valerolactone (GVL) over Ru(0 0 0 1) has been studied in three condensed phase media, i.e., liquid water, methanol, and 1,4-dioxane. Detailed microkinetic models have been developed incorporating various catalytic pathways including formation of 4-hydroxypentanoic acid (HPA) and α-angelicalactone (AGL) to simulate the catalytic activity of Ru(0 0 0 1) under various reaction conditions of solvent, temperature, and partial pressures.more »« less
