Catalytic Performance of SO₄^2-/TiO₂ for the Conversion of High Fructose Corn Syrup

Abstract:

SO₄^2-/TiO₂ catalysts prepared by precipitation and impregnation method were used for the dehydration of carbohydrates into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in aqueous solution. Effects of various parameters and catalyst reuse towards catalytic performance of SO₄^2-/TiO₂ were studied in detail. Experimental results showed that calcine temperature and acid concentration had significant influence on the essential catalyst properties. SO₄^2-/TiO₂, treated with 0.50 mol/L H₂SO₄ and calcined at 773 K for 3 h, showed the best catalytic effect. The recovered catalyst after calcination was found to show slower deactivation rate compared to those without calcination.
