    2,5-dimethylfuran production by biomass via 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over bimetallic catalyst
    (2020) Ledesma, Brenda C.; Juárez, Juliana M.; Mazzario, Jaime; Beltramone, Andrea R.; Domine, Marcelo
    En el presente trabajo se estudió la transformación catalítica de 5-hidroximetilfurfural (HMF) para producir 2,5-dimetilfurano (DMF) sobre catalizadores bimetálicos (PtIr) y monometálicos (Pt) soportados en materiales mesoporosos CMK-3 y SBA-15. Se estudiaron también la temperatura y presión óptimas para lograr la máxima producción de 2,5 DMF. Los catalizadores se caracterizaron ampliamente por XRD, isotermas de N2, XPS, TPR, TEM y NH3-TPD. En el estudio se observó que las partículas metálicas estaban bien reducidas y muy dispersas en la superficie del soporte debido a la gran área superficial y la distribución de poros del mismo. Los sitios de PtIr fueron muy activos y selectivos hacia la formación del 2,5 DMF. El catalizador PtIr-CMK- 3 mostró una excelente actividad, selectividad y estabilidad para ser aplicado en este proceso.

    Biofuel production using ordered mesoporous carbons with modified carbonaceous structure
    (2021) Ledesma, Brenda C.; Beltramone, Andrea R.
    Monometallic and bimetallic supported catalysts were developed to produce 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) trough hydrogenolysis of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF). Detailed physicochemical characterization was done in order to understand structure-activity correlation. Through a series of experiments and comparatives tests, the synergistic effect among Pt, Ir, and Ti incorporated in the support was investigated. Results revealed that using the titanium contained ordered mesoporous carbon, synthesized by a novel technique, high selectivity to DMF was achieved. In the case of the best catalyst PtIr-TiC, the good activity and excellent selectivity to the desired product DMF (98% yield) was related to the high hydrogenating capacity of the bimetallic sites, the acid support characteristics and the high metal nanoparticles dispersion achieved on the mesoporous titanium modified carbon support.

    Agro-industrial waste as a source of catalyst production.
    (2021) Ledesma, Brenda C.; Beltramone, Andrea R.
    This work deals with the bio-waste valorization approach for catalyst development, the use of products derived from biomass as raw material and the obtaining of biofuels. In this research, activated carbons were synthesized from the orange peel using different synthesis conditions. With the activated carbons obtained with the best structure and texture, PtIr bimetallic catalysts were prepared. Carbon activation was carried out through a chemical process with phosphoric acid as an activating agent, varying the acid concentration, the ratio substrate/activating agent and time of contact between them. The best support was obtained using a carbonization time of 1 h, the temperature of carbonization of 470oC, the phosphoric acid concentration of 50 wt.% and a BET area of 1429 m2/g. Subsequently, the metallic nanoparticles were deposited in the activated carbon to use the solid as a catalytic material for the hydrogenation of HMF to 2,5-DMF. The catalyst presented an excellent performance for biofuels generation.
