Abstract
Deactivation behaviors of gold catalysts in the liquid-phase oxidation of monoethanolamine to glycine were revealed. Properties of the catalysts including Au loading, the valence distribution, and particle size of Au nanoparticles before and after batch reactions were investigated by BET, ICP, XRD, XPS, and TEM. It was found that the main reason for the catalytic deactivation was aggregation of Au nanoparticles. The Au aggregation mechanism of oxidative dissolution-reductive deposition in the reaction was proposed and this mechanism could help to understand the common aggregation of Au nanoparticles in the liquid-phase oxidation of alcohols.
