Glucose Isomerization into Fructose Catalyzed by MgO/NaY Catalyst

摘要

The MgO/NaY catalysts prepared by impregnation method were used for the conversion of glucose to fructose in water medium.The effects of MgO loading,reaction temperature,glucose concentration and reaction time on the catalytic performance for the reaction were studied.The activity testing results indicated that fructose could be generated effectively by controlling the components of the catalyst and reaction conditions.The maximal fructose yield of 33.8％ with the selectivity of 67.3％ was achieved over the 10％MgO/NaY catalyst at 100 ℃ for 2 h.Moreover,the catalysts were characterized by XRD,BET,and CO2-TPD techniques.The structural property of NaY with higher surface area facilitated glucose conversion,and the modulated basicity of the catalyst with MgO addition contributed to the formation of fructose in the tautomerization of aldose to ketose.
