Selective Oxidation of Methyl alpha-D-Glucoside on Carbon Supported PlatinumCatalysts

摘要

The selective oxidation of methyl alpha-D-glucoside to sodium 1-O-methyl alpha-D-glucuronate by molecular oxygen on supported platinum was studied in a three-phase agitated tank reactor. Emphasis was put on the intrinsic kinetics and on the catalyst deactivation during oxidation. The obtained results were applied to the design of an industrial production unit.
