Abstract
AbstractIn this work, a commercial P25 (TiO2) with phase junctions between (101) and (110) faces supported Pt catalyst was prepared for glycerol selective oxidation, giving a decent 76.8% glyceric acid (GLYA) yield, and good stability. The kinetic experiments calculated apparent activation energy, turnover frequency (TOF), and reaction rates, demonstrating Pt/P25 could facilitate glyceraldehyde (GLYAD) formation and inhibit GLYA over‐oxidation. Series of structural techniques confirmed the 101/110 junctions in P25 contributed electronic effect on Pt through metal‐support interface, which improved the oxygen activation ability and optimized the GLYAD/GLYA adsorption modes. Furthermore, progressive scale‐up reactions were tested and the mass transfer limitations under different conditions were thoroughly studied. The obtained mass transfer factors suggested the gas–liquid and liquid–solid mass transfer were severely limited. Finally, through optimizing the conditions, Pt/P25 catalyst achieved 75.8% GLYA yield at 300 ml‐scale reaction, realizing equivalent magnification with the 5 ml‐scale experiment.
