The aqueous phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of furfuryl alcohol over Cu/MgAl and Cu/ZnAl catalysts with different Mg/Al and Zn/Al molar ratios, were investigated. Mg-Al and Zn-Al mixed oxides derived from hydrotalcites precursors were used as supports, which were impregnated with an aqueous solution of copper nitrate by incipient wetness impregnation. The HDO reaction was carried out in a typical batch reactor at 5 MPa of H2 and 200 °C for 4 h. Among the catalysts studied, the Cu/MgAl-0.5 catalyst exhibited the higher furfuryl alcohol conversion (86%) and yield of cyclopentanol (35%), which is the reaction product with the highest hydrogen-carbon (H/C) ratio. With the Cu/MgAl-3 catalyst a high cyclopentanone yield (67%) was achieved. The results obtained, showed that copper supported on mixed oxides catalysts derived from hydrotalcite precursors are a promising alternative to improve the bio-oil quality.
Se investigó la hidrodesoxigenación(HDO) del furfuril alcohol sobre catalizadores de Cu/MgAl y Cu/ZnAl con diferentes relaciones molares Mg/Al y Zn/Al. Óxidos mixtos de Mg-Al y Zn-Al derivados de precursores tipo hidrotalcitas se usaron como soporte, los cuales fueron impregnados con una solución acuosa de nitrato de cobre, mediante el método de impregnación húmeda. La reacción de hidrodesoxigenación (HDO) se realizó en un reactor tipo batch a 5 MPa de H2 y 200 °C por 4 h. Entre los catalizadores estudiados, el catalizador de Cu/MgAl-0.5 exhibió la más alta conversión del furfuril alcohol (86%) y rendimiento hacia ciclopentanol (35%), el cual es el producto de reacción con mayor relación hidrógeno-carbono (H/C). Con el catalizador de Cu/MgAl-3 se logró un alto rendimiento hacia ciclopentanona (67%). Los resultados obtenidos, mostraron que los catalizadores de óxidos mixtos derivados de precursores tipo hidrotalcitas son una alternativa prometedora para mejorar las características del bio-oil.
