“…Finally, the self-sustaining system was integrated with methanol synthesis process, in which the PSA unit was adjusted to produce syngas (Scheme 20). 907 Ortiz et al reported that a specific methanol production of 0.270 kg methanol/kg glycerol as well as an overall energy efficiency of 38% were obtained. Moreover, CO 2 sequestration in PSA unit yielded 0.38 kg CO 2 /kg glycerol, providing added value for the proposed process.…”

This Review describes recent advances in the design, synthesis, reactivity, selectivity, structural, and electronic properties of the catalysts for reforming of a variety of oxygenates (e.g., from simple monoalcohols to higher polyols, then to sugars, phenols, and finally complicated mixtures like bio-oil). A comprehensive exploration of the structure-activity relationship in catalytic reforming of oxygenates is carried out, assisted by state-of-the-art characterization techniques and computational tools. Critical emphasis has been given on the mechanisms of these heterogeneous-catalyzed reactions and especially on the nature of the active catalytic sites and reaction pathways. Similarities and differences (reaction mechanisms, design and synthesis of catalysts, as well as catalytic systems) in the reforming process of these oxygenates will also be discussed. A critical overview is then provided regarding the challenges and opportunities for research in this area with a focus on the roles that systems of heterogeneous catalysis, reaction engineering, and materials science can play in the near future. This Review aims to present insights into the intrinsic mechanism involved in catalytic reforming and provides guidance to the development of novel catalysts and processes for the efficient utilization of oxygenates for energy and environmental purposes.

In this work, the main results of a thermodynamic and kinetic study of glycerol ketalization to produce solketal in the presence of a solvent are presented. A catalyst and a solvent screening was carried out leading to the selection of Amberlyst-35 ion-exchange resin and ethanol as the most suitable materials for this reaction. A parametric study allowed one to determine reaction equilibrium and kinetic parameters in a batch reactor in the absence of external mass-transfer limitations. Regarding reaction thermodynamic equilibrium, a standard enthalpy of −20.1 ± 1.1 kJ mol–1 and a Gibbs free energy of 1.4 ± 0.3 kJ mol–1 were obtained. Reaction kinetics was studied assuming different reaction rate laws to fit the experimental data obtained: Pseudo-Homogeneous (PH), Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson (LHHW), and Eley–Rideal (ER). The experimental results revealed that the reaction kinetics behavior could be accurately described by the LHHW reaction rate law, considering the presence of internal mass-transfer resistances. The activation energy for the overall reaction was found to be 69.0 ± 6.6 kJ mol–1.

Preparation of syngas by reforming of biological glycerol on charcoal has been studied in a fixed bed reactor. The results indicated that charcoal was a novel kind of catalyst, which not only had an active effect on the reforming process, but can decrease the cost of production. The syngas yield, glycerol conversion, and H 2 /CO could reach 1.37 m 3 /kg, 76.78%, and 3.04, respectively, at the conditions of 8008C, S/C of 4, WHSV of 2 h 21 . Characterizations of fresh charcoal and used charcoal were analyzed with thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and BET. The results indicated that the coke from the polymerization of glycerol might be in an amorphous state, which was the reason of the decrease of surface area and average pore size of charcoal.
