Resumen:
BACKGROUND: Improvements in the selective hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters in order to obtain
unsaturated fatty alcohols have been attempted through the preparation and modification of supported group VIII metallic
catalysts. Suitable catalysts appear to be those based on supported Ru modified by Sn. The influence of preparation and
activation methods on the structural and electronic properties of the metallic phase and the effect of modifications to these
properties on the catalytic performance of RuSn/Al2O3 catalysts was studied regarding selective hydrogenation of carbonyl
groups.
RESULTS: Preparationmethods have amarked influence on the electronic state of Ru and its interaction with Sn. Temperatureprogrammed
reduction (TPR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of chemisorbed CO (FTIR-CO) and X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) results clearly show that the incorporation of sodium borohydride in the preparation leads to a greater
RuSn interaction when compared with catalysts prepared by co-impregnation without B. The activation of catalysts without
B (either by direct reduction or calcinations-reduction) does not produce a strong RuSn interaction. B-containing catalysts
exhibit higher hydrogenolytic and lower dehydrogenating activities. Selectivity towards oleyl alcohol formation was 37% for
this catalyst, while catalysts without B were not suitable for obtaining fatty alcohols.
CONCLUSION: The degree of interaction between Ru and Sn strongly depends on catalyst preparation and activation method
where strong interaction promotes selectivity with respect to oleyl alcohol formation. On the contrary, catalysts with a weak
RuSn interaction do not show significant selectivity for the unsaturated alcohol.
