Abstract

A family of silica supported, magnetite nanoparticle catalysts was synthesized and investigated for continuous flow acetic acid ketonization as a model pyrolysis bio-oil upgrading reaction. Physicochemical properties of Fe3O4/SiO2 catalysts were characterized by HRTEM, XAS, XPS, DRIFTS, TGA and porosimetry. Acid site densities were inversely proportional to Fe3O4 particle size, although acid strength and Lewis character were size invariant, and correlated with the specific activity for vapor phase acetic ketonization to acetone. A constant activation energy (~110 kJ.mol-1), turnover frequency (~13 h-1) and selectivity to acetone of 60 % were observed for ketonization across the catalyst series, implicating Fe3O4 as the principal active component of Red Mud waste.
