Abstract

Abstract : New solid acid catalysts were prepared by bisphenol A, paraformaldehyde, and applied to HAA of 2-methylfuran (2-MF) and cyclohexanone. Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of HAA products of 2-MF and cyclopentanone were processed on Ni/SiO2 catalyst. Abstract : New solid acid catalysts were prepared by bisphenol A, paraformaldehyde and chlorosulfonic acid, and applied to hydroxylalkylation/alkylation (HAA) of 2-methylfuran (2-MF) and cyclohexanone. After optimizing the reaction conditions, the conversion of 2-MF reached 99% and the yield of 5, 5′-(cyclohexane-1, 1-diyl)bis(2-methylfuran) acquired 98%. The activity and catalytic efficiency were higher than those of Amberlyst 15 and Amberlyst 36 resins, which could be rationalized by high acid strength. At the same time, the catalysts were characterized by acid–base titration and FTIR. Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of HAA products of 2-methylfuran and cyclopentanone were processed on the Ni/SiO2 catalyst prepared by wet impregnation method to further convert into aviation kerosene, and the yield reached 93%.
