Vapor-phase catalytic dehydration of 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO) was investigated over Y2O3-ZrO2 catalysts. In the dehydration, 1,3-butadiene (BD) together with 3-buten-1-ol (3B1OL), tetrahydrofuran, and propylene was produced depending on the reaction conditions. In the dehydration over Y2O3-ZrO2 catalysts with different Y contents at 325°C, Y2Zr2O7 with an equimolar ratio of Y/Zr showed high selectivity to 3B1OL, an intermediate to BD. In the dehydration at 360°C, a BD yield higher than 90% was achieved over the Y2Zr2O7 calcined at 700°C throughout 10 h. In the dehydration of 3B1OL over Y2Zr2O7, however, the catalytic activity affected by the calcination temperature is roughly proportional to the specific surface area of the sample. The highest activity of Y2Zr2O7 calcined at 700 °C for the BD formation from 1,4-BDO is explained by the trade-off relation in the activities for the first-step dehydration of 1,4-BDO to 3B1OL and for the second-step dehydration of 3B1OL to BD. The higher reactivity of 3B1OL than saturated alcohols such as 1-butanol and 2-butanol suggests that the C=C double bond of 3B1OL induces an attractive interaction to anchor the catalyst surface and promotes the dehydration. A probable mechanism for the one-step dehydration of 1,4-BDO to BD was discussed.

The gas-phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of furfural, a model compound for bio-based conversion, was investigated over transition metal phosphide catalysts. The HDO activity decreases in the order Ni2P ≈ MoP > Co2P ≈ WP ? Cu3P > Fe2P. Nickel phosphide phases (e.g., Ni2P, Ni12P5, Ni3P) are the most promising catalysts in the furfural HDO. Their selectivity to the gasoline additives 2-methylfuran and tetrahydro-2-methylfuran can be adjusted by varying the P/Ni ratio. The effect of P on catalyst properties as well as on the reaction mechanism of furfural HDO were investigated in depth for the first time. An increase of the P stoichiometry weakens the furan-ring/catalyst interaction, which contributes to a lower ring-opening and ring-hydrogenation activity. On the other hand, an increasing P content does lead to a stronger carbonyl/catalyst interaction, i.e., to a stronger η2(C, O) adsorption configuration, which weakens the C1[sbnd]O1 bond (Scheme 1) in the carbonyl group and enhances the carbonyl conversion. Phosphorus species can also act as Br?nsted acid sites promoting C1[sbnd]O1 (Scheme 1) hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol, hence contributing to higher production of 2-methylfuran.
