AbstractBiodiesel is of high interest due to increased demand for energy with the concern regarding more sustainable production processes. However, an inevitable by-product is glycerol. Hence, the conversion of this by-product to higher-value chemicals, especially 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) via glycerol hydrogenolysis reaction, is one of the most effective pathways towards a profitable process. In general, this process is catalyzed by a highly active Pt-based catalyst supported on γ-Al2O3. However, its low 1,3-PDO selectivity and stability due to surface deactivation of such catalysts remained. This led to the surface modification by WOx to improve both the selectivity by means of the increased Brønsted acidity and the stability in terms of Pt leaching-resistance. Hence, we applied experimental and density functional theory (DFT)-based techniques to study the fundamentals of how WOx modified the catalytic performance in the Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalyst and provided design guidelines. The effects of WOx promoter on improved activity were due to the shifting of the total density of states towards the antibonding region evident by the total density of states (TDOS) profile. On the improved 1,3-PDO selectivity, the main reason was the increasing number of Brønsted acid sites due to the added WOx promoter. Interestingly, the stability improvement was due to the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) that occurred in the catalyst, like typical high leaching-resistant catalysts. Also, the observed strong metal-support-promoter interaction (SMSPI) is an additional effect preventing leaching. The SMSPI stemmed from additional bonding between the WOx species and the Pt active site, which significantly strengthened Pt adsorption to support and a high electron transfer from both Pt and Al2O3 to WOx promoter. This suggested that the promising promoter for our reaction performed in the liquid phase would improve the stability if SMSI occurred, where the special case of the WOx promoter would even highly improve the stability through SMSPI. Nevertheless, various promoters that can promote SMSPI need investigations.

The glycerol hydrogenolysis to produce 1,2-propanediol without using externally supplied hydrogen was investigated using methanol present in crude glycerol to provide in situ hydrogen via its steam reforming reaction. This paper focuses on the promoting effect of Pd on the reactivity of a Cu/Zn/Al2O3 catalyst. Adding 2 wt% Pd onto a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst significantly improved the selectivity to 1,2-propanediol from 63.0% to 82.4% and the glycerol conversion from 70.2% to 99.4%. This enhancement on the catalytic activity by Pd is mainly due to the improved hydrogenation of acetol, which is the intermediate formed during the glycerol dehydration. The rapid hydrogenation of acetol can shift the reaction equilibrium of glycerol dehydration forward resulting in a higher glycerol conversion. The improved reducibility of the catalyst by Pd allows the catalyst to be reduced in situ during the reaction preventing any loss of catalyst activity due to any potential oxidation of the catalyst. The catalyst was slightly deactivated when it was firstly recycled resulting in a 5.4% loss of glycerol conversion due to the aggregation of Cu and the deactivation became less noticeable upon further recycling.
