Abstract

The gas phase hydrogenation of acrolein over supported silver catalysts has been investigated with a focus on the influence of the support acidity. Acidity has been varied by preparing silver catalysts supported on silica/alumina supports with varying SiO2/Al2O3 ratio. After the catalytic experiments the Ag catalysts exhibit similar particle sizes, as revealed with TEM (transmission electron microscopy). The acidity of the samples was estimated using TPD of adsorbed ammonia which gives the total acidity of the samples, furthermore by IR of adsorbed pyridine to identify the Brønsted and Lewis acidity. No Brønsted acidity was found, and the Lewis acidity showed a clear dependence on the support composition. It is shown that a high total acidity and a high amount of strong Lewis acid sites on the catalysts cause a low conversion of acrolein and low selectivity to allyl alcohol. The interaction of silver with the support or effects of the metal–support perimeter are discussed as possible reasons for this behaviour.
