Descripción
Sumario:[EN] A series of W-V-O catalysts with different m-WO3 and h-WO3 phase contents were hydrothermally synthesized by employing different tungsten, vanadium, and ammonium precursors and characterized by powder XRD, N-2 adsorption, SEM, X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy, NH3 temperature programmed desorption, H-2 temperature-programmed reduction, and XPS. Finally, the acid/redox properties were analyzed by using aerobic transformation of methanol as a characterization reaction. A correlation between phase composition as well as acid and redox properties was observed, which were correlated to the catalytic performance of the title materials in a one-pot oxydehydration reaction of glycerol. The hexagonal tungsten bronze (h-WO3) phase shows a significantly higher concentration of acid sites than monoclinic m-WO3, so that the acid properties of W-V-O oxides are directly related to the presence of h-WO3 crystals. The presence of a higher concentration of acid sites in V-containing h-WO3 crystals is a key factor to achieve high selectivity to both acrolein and acrylic acid during one-pot glycerol oxydehydration. Also, V sites in h-WO3 show higher selectivity in the consecutive reaction (partial oxidation of acrolein to acrylic acid), while V sites in the m-WO3 phase fundamentally lead to the formation of carbon oxides.
