Preparation of Chitosan Grafting Acrylic Acid Supported Palladium Fibrous Catalyst and its Application in Hydrogenation

Abstract

Chitosan grafting acrylic copolymer (CTS-g-AA) supported Nano palladium catalyst was obtained in this paper. Chitosan grafting acrylic copolymer (CTS-g-AA) was prepared firstly and palladium was supported on CTS-g-AA; then nano fibrous catalyst was gained via electrospinning technique. The title catalysts were characterized by TEM, SEM and IR, the diameter of nanofiber was about 70~200 nm, the size of metal particles were in a range of 10~40 nm, and palladium particles dispersed on nanofibers homogeneously. The catalyst was applied to catalyze α-octene hydrogenation in normal temperature and pressure. The results showed that the conversion of α-octene was 99%, and the yield of octane was 65% by double-metal catalyst.

Preparations, properties and applications of chitosan based nanofibers fabricated by electrospinning

“…Other nanofibers electrospun of blends of chitosan and inorganic nanoparticles are not discussed in detail here, such as titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles/chitosan/PVA electrosun nanofibers exhibiting antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli [99], palladium nanoparticles/chitosan grafting acrylic copolymer (PdNPs/ CS-g-AA) blend electrospun nanofibrous catalyst applied to catalyze alpha-octene hydrogenation in normal temperature and pressure [100], etc. The combination of the characteristics of the inorganic nanoparticles and the features of chitosan nanofibers could lead to more products with unique properties that can fit special needs.…”

“…have been electrospun to nanofibers. The combination of the characteristics of the inorganic nanoparticles and the features of chitosan nanofibers can lead to more products with unique properties that can fit special needs, such as hydroxyapatite (HAp)/chitosan nanofibers [37], silver nanoparticles(AgNPs)/chitosan/PEO nanofibers, AgNPs/chitosan/PVA nanofibers [38] , and AgNPs/carboxymethyl-chitosan/PVA nanofibers [39], palladium nanoparticles/chitosan grafting acrylic copolymer (PaNPs/ CS-g-AA) nanofibrous catalyst [40], etc.…”
