Abstract：

We report a process of selective conversion of microcrystalline cellulose to hexitols over bi-functional Ru-supported sulfated zirconia and silica-zirconia catalysts. A 58.1% yield of hexitols and a 71.0% conversion of cellulose were achieved over Ru/SZSi(100:15)-773 catalyst at 443 K. The as-synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET, thermogravimetric analysis and pyridine adsorption Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD results indicated that the sulfated catalysts were pure tetragonal phase of ZrO₂ when calcined at 773 K. Monoclinic zirconia appeared at the calcination temperature of 873 K, and the content of monoclinic phase increased with the elevating temperature. Compared with sulfated zirconia catalyst, sulfated silica-zirconia catalysts possessed a higher ratio of Brønsted to Lewis on the surface of catalysts, as shown from pyridine adsorption FTIR results. The reaction results indicated that the tetragonal zirconia, which is necessary for the formation of superacidity, was the active phase to cellulose conversion. The higher amounts of Brønsted acid sites can remarkably accelerate the cellulose depolymerization and promote side reactions that convert C5–C6 alcohols into the unknown soluble degradation products.
