    Activated carbons synthetized from orange peel to produce clean energy
    (2022) Rivoira, Lorena Paola; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
    As we all know, a clean energy revolution is taking place all over the world in pursuit of replacing oil. The present work stands out an environmental point of view by proposing biomass wastes from different industrial areas to produce not only a biofuel but also as raw material to synthetize the catalyst involved in the HDO reaction. In this way the process ceases to rely on the antiquated and obsolete linear economy where products, services, wastes, materials, water and energy have a beginning and an end to become a process with greater tendency to the modern circular economy, closely related to the idea of sustainability. Products, materials and resources are expected to last as long as possible while minimizing waste as much as possible too. Agricultural and forestry waste are available everywhere being a low cost raw material and it is possible to provide added value to the organic wastes of small and medium size enterprises. The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol has been performed in a batch reactor under 12 atm of H2 and different temperatures over activated carbon synthetized from orange peel discarded from juice industry. 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 carbonization time of 1 h, temperature of carbonization of 470oC, phosphoric acid concentration of 50 wt.% and with 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 hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol. The catalytic material was modified with metallic nanoparticles of Pt. The catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, N2 isotherms, XPS, SEM and TEM. Good structure, narrow pore size distribution and high platinum dispersion were achieved in the synthesized catalysts. The objective of this investigation is the evaluation of the catalytic activity and to compare it with SBA-15 support studied previously. The catalyst presented excellent performance for biofuels generation.

    Influence of ti incorporation to mesoporous carbon structure for 2,5 dmf production by biomass
    (2021) Beltramone, Andrea R.; Ledesma, Brenda C.; Juárez, Juliana M.
    Several metal an bimettallics catalysts were prepared in order to evaluate performance to produce 2,5- dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF) trough hydrogenolysis of 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (5-HMF). Detailed physico-chemical characterisation was done in order to understand structure-activity correlation. Through a series of experiments and comparison, the synergistic effect among Pt, Ir, and Ti was investigated. The results revealed that the titanium contained in the ordered mesoporous carbon promotes a synergistic effect between Pt-Ir and Ti; that plays an important role in improving selectivity to DMF for PtIr / TiC bimetallic catalysts

    (2021) Ledesma, Brenda C.; Beltramone, Andrea R.
    This work deals with the bio-waste valorization approach for the catalyst development, the use of products derived biomass as raw material and the obtaining of biofuels. In this research activated carbons were synthesized 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 carbonization time of 1 h, temperature of carbonization of 470oC, phosphoric acid concentration of 50 wt.% and with 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 excellent performance for biofuels generation.

    Síntesis, caracterización y evaluación catalítica de mof uio-66 en la esterificación de ácido levulínico
    (2019) Crivello, Mónica Elsie; Bravo Fuchineco, Daiana Antonella; Heredia, Angélica Constanza; Rodríguez Castellón, Enrique
    El estudio de los compuestos metal-orgánicos MOFs ha experimentado un rápido crecimiento en las últimas dos décadas debido a sus interesantes propiedades: flexibilidad en el diseño y funcionalización de sus poros, elevada superficie específica y síntesis menos complejas. Dentro de esta gran familia de materiales, los que contienen Zr como metal activo, rodeado por ligandos de ácido tereftalico (UiO-66) son buenos catalizadores y estables para la esterificación de ácido levulínico con etanol, con actividades comparables a otros catalizadores ácidos sólidos. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue sintetizar compuestos del tipo MOF UIO-66 con circonio como precursor metálico y tetracloruro de circonio como fuente metálica, empleando una ruta alternativa de síntesis, con condiciones más favorables desde el punto de vista económico y ambiental. Es por ello que se propone el uso de solventes alternativos. La síntesis se realizó mediante el método solvotermal a 120 °C durante 24hs. Se utilizó dimetilformamida como solvente y se reemplazó entre un 0 y 75%, de dicho solvente, por acetona. Estos materiales luego se evaluaron catalíticamente en la reacción de esterificación del ácido levulínico con etanol. Las propiedades del material fueron caracterizadas por difracción de rayos X, microscopía electrónica de barrido, espectroscopia infrarroja, espectroscopía fotoelectrónica de rayos X, espectroscopia de emisión atómica por plasma de microondas y área superficial. El progreso de la reacción fue seguido por cromatografía gaseosa y espectroscopía de masa. El material más activo fue el MOF100% con 17,42% de conversión y 27,17 % de selectividad a levulinato de etilo.
