A high surface area mesoporous TiO2 material (110 m2/g) was synthesised using a nanocasting methodology, utilizing SBA-15 as a hard template. This material was subsequently used as a support to prepare a series of 1 wt.% AuPt/TiO2 catalysts, synthesised by conventional impregnation and sol-immobilisation. Catalysts were tested for the oxidation of glycerol to lactic acid and their performance was compared with corresponding catalysts supported on TiO2?P25, TiO2-anatase and TiO2-rutile. Higher rates of reaction and higher selectivity to lactic acid were observed over nanocast TiO2 supported catalysts. The increased performance of these catalysts was attributed to the presence of Si on the surface of the support, which likely arose from inefficient etching of the SBA-15 template. The presence of Si in these catalysts was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy. It was proposed that the residual Si present increases the Br?nsted acidity of the TiO2 support, which can lead to the formation of Lewis acid sites under reaction conditions; both sites are known to catalyse the dehydration of a primary alcohol in glycerol. Typically, under alkaline conditions, lactic acid is formed by the nucleophilic abstraction of a hydrogen. Thus, we propose that the improved selectivity to lactic acid over the nanocast TiO2 supported catalyst is attributed to the co-operation of heterogeneous and homogeneous dehydration reactions, as both compete directly with a direct oxidation pathway, which leads to the formation of oxidation products such as glyceric and tartronic acid.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce carboxylic acid from glycerol at a temperature lower than or equal to a boiling point of a solvent, using a catalyst that is easy to recover and reuse. SOLUTION: A method for producing carboxylic acid has a production step that produces carboxylic acid by a reaction between glycerol and oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst and an alkali metal. The catalyst is obtained through a mixture step for mixing a gold ion, a platinum ion, and a metal oxide in acidic liquid. The ratio of the mass of gold ions to the sum of the mass of gold ions and the mass of platinum ions is higher than 0.2 and lower than 0.8. SELECTED DRAWING: None COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPOandINPIT
