Abstract
The gas-phase dehydration of glycerol to acrolein was carried out over silicotungstic acid (, HSiW) catalysts supported on , , and silica-aluminas with different Al contents. The HSiW catalysts supported on silica-aluminas showed higher glycerol conversions and acrolein yields during the initial 2 h at than did - and -supported HSiW catalysts. Among the tested catalysts, HSiW/ exhibited the highest space-time yield during the initial 2 h. The loaded HSiW species can change the acid types and suppress the formation of carbonaceous species on Al-rich silica-aluminas. The deactivated HSiW supported on silica-aluminas can be fully regenerated after calcination in air at . As long as the molar ratio between water and glycerol was in the range of 2-11, the acrolein selectivity increased significantly with increasing water content in the feed, while the surface carbon content decreased owing to the suppression of heavy compounds.
