Paragraph 0110-0111, (2021/05/29)
Various processes for preparing aldaric acids, aldonic acids, uronic acids, and/or lactone(s) thereof are described. For example, processes for preparing a C2-C7 aldaric acid and/or lactone(s) thereof by the catalytic oxidation of a C2-C7 aldonic acid and/or lactone(s) thereof and/or a C2-C7 aldose are described.

In this work, different shaped WO3 (rod-like, lamellar and cuboid) supported Pt catalysts were prepared in a facile routine and tested in the selective oxidation of glycerol in base-free aqueous solution. Characterizations indicated that rod-like WO3 supported Pt catalyst (Pt/R-WO3) possesses higher surface area because of the formation of vertical pore channels and highly exposed plane (100), the deposited Pt atoms combined strongly with the terminal [sbnd]W[dbnd]O in rod-like WO3. These properties promoted the adsorption, storage and surface diffusion of oxygen over Pt/R-WO3 which exhibited the excellent activity for the selective oxidation of glycerol. And the higher amount of acid sites on the surface of Pt/R-WO3 enhanced the selectivity of glyceric acid. The calculated turnover frequency of each Pt atom in Pt/R-WO3 reached 946 h–1 at 60 °C.

The development of low-cost and sustainable hydrogen production is of primary importance for a future transition to sustainable energy. In this work, the selective and simultaneous production of pure hydrogen and chemicals from renewable alcohols is achieved using an anion exchange membrane electrolysis cell (electrochemical reforming) employing a nanostructured Pd-CeO2/C anode. The catalyst exhibits high activity for alcohol electrooxidation (e.g. 474 mA cm?2 with EtOH at 60 °C) and the electrolysis cell produces high volumes of hydrogen (1.73 l min?1 m?2) at low electrical energy input (Ecost = 6 kWh kgH2?1 with formate as substrate). A complete analysis of the alcohol oxidation products from several alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1,2-propandiol, ethylene glycol, glycerol and 1,4-butanediol) shows high selectivity in the formation of valuable chemicals such as acetate from ethanol (100%) and lactate from 1,2-propandiol (84%). Importantly for industrial application, in batch experiments the Pd-CeO2/C catalyst achieves conversion efficiencies above 80% for both formate and methanol, and 95% for ethanol.
