The conversion of common biomasses derived, as D-glucose, into value-added chemicals has received highest attention in the last few years. Among all processes, the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of derived biomasses using noble metal-based heterogeneo

Low temperature oxidation of alcohols over heterogeneous catalysts is exceptionally challenging, particularly under neutral conditions. Herein, we report on an efficient, base-free method to oxidise glycerol over a 0.5%Pd-0.5%Fe/SiO2 catalyst at ambient temperature in the presence of gaseous H2 and O2. The exceptional catalytic performance was attributed to the in situ formation of highly reactive surface-bound oxygenated species, which promote the dehydrogenation on the alcohol. The PdFe bimetallic catalyst was determined to be significantly more active than corresponding monometallic analogues, highlighting the important role both metals have in this oxidative transformation. Fe leaching was confirmed to occur over the course of the reaction but sequestering experiments, involving the addition of bare carbon to the reactions, confirmed that the reaction was predominantly heterogeneous in nature. Investigations with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy suggested that the reactivity in the early stages was mediated by surface-bound reactive oxygen species; no homogeneous radical species were observed in solution. This theory was further evidenced by a direct H2O2 synthesis study, which confirmed that the presence of Fe in the bimetallic catalyst neither improved the synthesis of H2O2 nor promoted its decomposition over the PdFe/SiO2 catalyst.

In this study, tin oxide (SnO2), molybdenum oxide (MoO3) and a mixed oxide based on tin and molybdenum (respectively, Sn100, Mo100 and SnMo25, synthesized by the impregnation method) were applied in xylose conversion. The best results were obtained employing Mo100 and SnMo25. In the presence of SnMo25, after 0.5 h, xylose conversions of 39.5%, 34.1% and 63.4% were obtained, respectively, at 110, 130 and 150 °C. For Mo100, conversions of 49.6%, 71.8% and 85.3% were attained under the same reaction conditions, showing that Mo100 provided the best conversion results. However, with the use of this catalyst there was an increase in the amount of soluble and insoluble polymeric material. In terms of the soluble products formed from xylose, depending on the reaction condition were detected xylulose (X), lyxose (L) and furfural (FUR), glyceraldehyde (GL), pyruvaldehyde (PYR), glycoaldehyde (GLYC), dihydroxyacetone (DHA), lactic acid (AL), levulinic acid (LA) and acetic acid (AA). However, with the use of Sn100 or without a catalyst (systems with low conversions) there was mainly the formation of lyxose. The use of Mo100 and SnMo25 (systems which exhibit high acidity) leads mainly to isomerization, epimerization and dehydration reactions, as in the case of the retro-aldol pathway and furfural conversion, highlighting the importance of Lewis and Bronsted acid sites in relation to modulating the selectivity of the systems.
