Alcohols have a wide range of applicability, and their functions vary with the carbon numbers. C6 and C4 alditols are alternative of sweetener, as well as significant pharmaceutical and chemical intermediates, which are mainly obtained through the fermentation of microorganism currently. Similarly, as a bulk chemical, C2 alditol plays a decisive role in chemical synthesis. However, among them, few works have been focused on the chemical production of C4 alditol yet due to its difficult accumulation. In this paper, under a static and semi-flowing procedure, we have achieved the product control during the conversion of C6 aldose toward C6 alditol, C4 alditol and C2 alditol, respectively. About C4 alditol yield of 20 % and C4 plus C6 alditols yield of 60 % are acquired in the one-pot conversion via a cascade retro-aldol condensation and hydrogenation process. Furthermore, in the semi-flowing condition, the yield of ethylene glycol is up to 73 % thanks to its low instantaneous concentration.

One-pot hydrogenolysis of cellulose to ethylene glycol (EG) was carried out on WO3-based catalysts combined with Ru/C. To probe the active catalytic site for breaking the C-C bond of cellulose, a series of WO3-ZrO2 (WZr) catalysts were synthesized and systematically characterized with XRD, Raman, UV-Vis, H2-TPR, DRIFS and XPS techniques and N2 physisorption experiment. It was found that the WO3 crystallites became more easily reduced to W5+-OH species with increasing crystallite size or tungsten surface density of the WZr catalyst owing to the decrease of their absorption edge energy (AEE) originating from weakening their interaction with ZrO2 support. This, as a result, gave higher EG yield at higher tungsten surface density. The structure-activity relationship of the WZr catalyst reveals that the active catalytic site for cleaving the C2-C3 bond of the glucose molecule is the W5+-OH species.

Although new particle formation accounts for about 50% of the global aerosol production in the troposphere, the chemical species and mechanism responsible for the growth of freshly nucleated nanoparticles remain largely uncertain. Here we show large size
