Abstract

The catalytic conversion of 1,2-propandiol to propanal is examined using FSM-16 particles (0.85–1.70 mm) molded by wet-treatment and pressurization. When FSM-16 was molded with 0.6 g of pressurization and supplied to the catalytic conversion of 1,2-propandiol at 673 K, this system resulted in a 94.8% conversion of 1,2-propandiol and 90.5% selectivity to propanal at 0.25 h on-stream, which was the maximum amount of activity. However, at 4.50 h on-stream, the activity decreased extremely to deactivation 19.9% conversion of 1,2-propandiol and 84.7% selectivity to propanal. In contrast, when FSM-16 molded with wet-treatment (0.15 g) was used for the conversion at 573 K, activity was greatly increased and stable 98.6% conversion of 1,2-propandiol and 56.2% selectivity to propanal at 0.25 h on-stream followed by 91.9% and 52.5%, respectively, at 4.50 h on-stream. The hexagonal structure of FSM-16 was suggested to have contributed to the suitable conversion of 1,2-propandiol to propanal.
