Abstract
The selective conversion of furfural (FUR) with ethanol to produce furan-2-acrolein has been successfully performed in the presence of O2, in which metal organic framework (MOF) supported platinum nanoparticles (Pt@MOF-5, Pt@UIO-66, and Pt@UIO-66-NH2) were used as the catalysts. Under the optimal conditions, 84.1% conversion of FUR and 90.1% selectivity of furan-2-acrolein was obtained with Pt@MOF-5 as the catalyst. Moreover, the catalysts were characterized by XRD, H2-TPR, HRTEM, HRSEM, and XPS techniques, with the synergetic effect of well-dispersed platinum nanoparticles in the MOF-5 channel. In addition, the results of the recycling experiment exhibited that there was no significant loss after the catalyst was reused 5 times.
