Abstract
The silver-modified cryptomelane-type crystalline and silica-supported OMS-2 catalysts (Ag/OMS-2 and Ag/OMS-2/SiO2, respectively) were prepared by impregnation, co-precipitation, and consecutive impregnation methods and tested in selective oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. Modifying OMS-2 and OMS-2/SiO2 catalysts by silver was shown to improve the redox properties of the catalysts and increase the ethanol oxidation rate. However, selectivity to acetaldehyde decreased with increased reaction temperature due to intensification of total oxidation on the Ag-MnOx sites. Preparation method of the catalyst affected the Ag localization and catalytic activity. Introducing silver into the OMS-2 channels provided a higher ethanol oxidation rate. The use of silica support for Ag/OMS-2 composites improved the selectivity towards acetaldehyde at higher temperatures and, therefore, increased the acetaldehyde yield in comparison with crystalline samples.
