Advances in catalytic conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethylene glycol
Ethylene glycol (EG) is an industrial chemical with multiple applications in polymers, anti-freeze agents, coolants, desiccants and de-icing fluids. It is prepared mainly from fossil feedstock resources. However, its manufacture from renewable sources like lignocellulosic biomass is attractive from the view points of carbon-neutrality and environmental benefits. A few industries have already ventured or committed to produce biomass-derived EG (bio-EG) on a pilot to demonstration scale. At present bio-EG is more expensive than the EG made from fossil resources. Advances are happening in developing more efficient and selective catalysts for the direct conversion of raw biomass and its hydrolysis products (cellulose and glucose) into bio-EG. This review presents the recent advances in catalysts for producing bio-EG. Graphical abstract

C–O Hydrogenolysis of C3–C4 Polyols Selectively to Terminal Diols over Pt/W/SBA-15 Catalysts
Pt/W/SBA-15 catalysts (with Pt-loading = 0.5–4 wt% and W-loading = 1 wt%) prepared by the sequential impregnation method were evaluated for selective C–O cleavage of erythritol and glycerol in an aqueous medium. The Pt and W particles dispersed on SBA-15 approached close proximity at higher Pt loadings and afforded synergistic enhancement in C–O hydrogenolysis activity/selectivity. 1,4-Butanediol yields of 30.9% (at 190 °C, 50 bar H2 and 24 h) and 1,3-propanediol yields of 34.4% (at 190 °C, 50 bar H2 and 12 h of reaction) were obtained over these catalysts. Pt nanoparticles (facilitating dissociative H2 adsorption and spillover) and W (present as acidic oligomeric WOx species; activating and coordinating the polyol via 1°-OH group) worked in tandem for the selective hydrogenolysis of polyols yielding terminal diols of industrial demand.
