Abstract

Abstract

Cu/ZnO catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation method and the effect of Cu/Zn ratio on the strong metal support interaction was investigated. The effect of SMSI on the performance of furfural hydrogenation to furfuryl alcohol was also studied. The Cu/ZnO catalysts were characterized by H₂-TPR, XRD, SEM, TEM and XPS. The results showed that there is strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) in the Cu/ZnO catalyst, which changes the microstructure of the catalyst. ZnO support played the role of geometric modification on the active metal Cu particles, and it changed electronic state of the Cu on the surface. SMSI was affected by the change of Cu/Zn ratio, the order of SMSI action is 20Cu/ZnO> 40Cu/ZnO> 60Cu/ZnO> 80Cu/ZnO. Under the same reaction conditions, the furfural conversion rate of the 20Cu/ZnO was higher than 80% catalyst for only 5 h, while the time of the 60Cu/ZnO catalyst reached 28 h. The results show that the activity of the Cu/ZnO catalyst in the furfural hydrogenation reaction was inhibited by the over-strong SMSI action, and the stability of catalysts in the reaction was improved by appropriate SMSI effect.
