Study on Alkylation of Catechol with Ethanol by Al-P-Ti-O Oxides

Article Preview

Abstract:

Vapour-phase alkylation of catechol with ethanol has been investigated over Al-P-Ti-O oxides prepared by non-uniform precipitation method. The catalytic activities decrease with the increase of P content. The catalytic activities increase with increasing Ti content, while the selectivity to guathol decreases. The results of XRD characterization demonstrate that the increase of titanium and the addition of additive affects the structure of the catalysts. The addition of additive (cane sugar or citric acid) decrease the catalytic activities of the catalysts, while increase the stability of the catalyst. Both the conversion of catechol and the selectivity to guathol decrease by the addition of additive, and the C-alkylation products increase obviously. The results indicate that the appropriate pores and surface area are enough for the title reaction, lager pore and higher surface area are favorable to C-alkylation products and stability of catalyst.
