Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed efficient use of glycerol made as a byproduct through the conversion process of biomass resources. Dehydration of glycerol into acrolein was performed using various solid acids, and it revealed the relation between acid properties and the catalytic activity. Moreover, I investigated oxidehydration of glycerol, forming acrylic acid in one-pass process. The catalysts were prepared by loading of Mo-V-O as oxidation active species on ZSM-5, exhibiting high selectivity of acrolein. The investigation of the ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 in ZSM-5 and the loading amount of Mo-V-O found the catalyst forming acrylic acid.
