Dihydroxyacetone production by glycerol oxidation under moderate condition using Pt loaded on La1−xBixOF solids†
Abstract
Pt/La1−xBixOF/SBA-16 (SBA-16: Santa Barbara Amorphous no. 16) catalysts were prepared to produce dihydroxyacetone (DHA) from glycerol under moderate conditions. By using 7 wt% Pt/16 wt% La0.95Bi0.05OF/SBA-16, the DHA yield reached up to 78.4% (glycerol conversion: 100%) after reacting for 6 h at 30 °C in an atmospheric open-air system.
