Selective Oxidation of Glycerol with O₂ Catalyzed by Fluorine-Modified CuNiAl Hydrotalcite

Abstract:

A fluorine anion modified CuNiAl hydrotalcite (CuNiAl-LDH (F^-)) was prepared for the selective oxidation of glycerol (GLY) using O₂ as oxidant. It was found that the obtained catalyst with typical layer structures of hydrotalcite compounds was an effective heterogeneous catalyst in GLY oxidation. Under the present conditions, the main product was the C₃ oxygenated products of primary alcohol glyceric acid (GLYAC). The highest conversion of GLY reached 32.0% with 58.1% of the selectivity to GLYAC.
