An environmentally-benign, efficient and inexpensive high-surface-area barium hexa-aluminate (BaAl12O19, BHA) was developed as a catalyst for the decarboxylation of the biomass-derived itaconic acid (IA) to bio-based methacrylic acid (MAA). A maximal 50% final yield of MAA with a high product selectivity was obtained under relatively mild synthesis reaction conditions (250 °C; 20 bar N2). The reported selective MAA production was elevated, operating process characteristics were significantly less harsh, and no depleting critical raw materials were utilized when paralleled to the procedures with alkaline mineral bases, noble metal-containing heterogeneous catalysis systems and unrenewable feed resources (e.g. isobutene), applied previously. It was found that the doping of palladium on BHA support (Pd@BHA) did not improve MAA productivity. The effect of the time (25–300 min), temperature (175–275 °C), pressure (10–40 bar), reacting substrate concentration (0.10–0.19 mol L–1), metallic oxide mass (0.5–3.0 g) and type on IA conversion, MAA content MAA content and rates was determined, examining also recyclability. BHA catalyst was characterized with various structural techniques, such as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), CO2 temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 physisorption.

Methacrylic acid, an important monomer for the plastics industry, was obtained in high selectivity (up to 84 %) by the decarboxylation of itaconic acid using heterogeneous catalysts based on Pd, Pt and Ru. The reaction takes place in water at 200–250 °C without any external added pressure, conditions significantly milder than those described previously for the same conversion with better yield and selectivity. A comprehensive study of the reaction parameters has been performed, and the isolation of methacrylic acid was achieved in 50 % yield. The decarboxylation procedure is also applicable to citric acid, a more widely available bio-based feedstock, and leads to the production of methacrylic acid in one pot in 41 % selectivity. Aconitic acid, the intermediate compound in the pathway from citric acid to itaconic acid was also used successfully as a substrate.
