Catalytic upgrading of lactic acid to fuels and chemicals by dehydration/hydrogenation and C–C coupling reactions

Aqueous solutions of lactic acid can be catalytically processed over Pt(0.1%)/Nb2O5 into a spontaneously-separating organic layer that can serve as source of valuable chemicals (propanoic acid and C4-C7 ketones) and/or can be used to produce high energy-density liquid fuels (C4-C7 alcohols). The nio...

Zusammenfassung:Aqueous solutions of lactic acid can be catalytically processed over Pt(0.1%)/Nb2O5 into a spontaneously-separating organic layer that can serve as source of valuable chemicals (propanoic acid and C4-C7 ketones) and/or can be used to produce high energy-density liquid fuels (C4-C7 alcohols). The niobia support plays a key role in the synthesis by catalyzing dehydration and C-C coupling reactions.
