Cyclohexanone 1,2-propanediol ketal was synthesized from cyclohexanone and 1,2-propanediol in the presence of H4SiW12O40/PAn. The factors influencing the synthesis were discussed and the best conditions were found out. The optimum conditions are: molar ratio of cyclohexanone to 1,2-propanediol is 1:1.4, the quantity of catalyst is equal to 1.0% of feed stocks, and the reaction time is 40 min. H4SiW12O40/PAn is an excellent catalyst for synthesizing cyclohexanone 1,2-propanediol ketal and its yield can reach over 96.5%.展开更多

Using glucose, sorbitol, glycerol and LA as the rawmaterials, the roles of nickel, ZnO and MnOx were investigated. The results show that nickel provided a new pathway of glucose to sorbitol and played an important role in the hydrogenation of C3 intermediates to 1,2-propanediol(1,2-PDO). The high yield of 1, 2-PDO was attributed to effective C–C bond cleavage performance of ZnO support promoted by MnOx. ZnO and MnOx contribute to the conversion of glycerol to lactic acid(LA) and LA to 1, 2-PDO, respectively. A concise pathway for hydrogenation of glucose over Ni-based catalyst was proposed.展开更多

The 1,2-PDO yield of 93.6% was achieved when Zn acted as a reductant. The results indicated that in situ formed hydrogen by the oxidation of Zn in water is more effective than gaseous hydrogen, which failed to produce the 1,2-PDO from ethyl lactate.From a practical point of view, the present method may provide a useful route for the production of 1,2-PDO from ethyl lactate.展开更多

[Method]Whole-crop corn was stored in laboratory bag silos and outdoor bunker silos. Bag silos were stored for 3,7,14,28,56 and 120 d,respectively,and fermentation products were analyzed after opening; the fermentation products,which were from three 500 t above-ground outdoor bunker silos stored for 120 d,were detected. Eight sampling points were selected for each bunker silo. [Result]No 1,2-propanediol was detected out in laboratory bag silos,and lactic acid was dominant in fermentation products. The acetic acid content significantly increased( P < 0. 05) with the extension of storage time,whereas the acetic acid content was kept below one-third of the lactic acid content; 1,2-propanediol and a small amount of 1-propanol were detected out in three bunker silos,and lactic acid was dominant in fermentation products,whereas the content of acetic acid was slightly lower than that of lactic acid. The differences in fermentation products from different silos and different sites in silos presented heterogeneity; except to propanediol,lactic acid bacteria and yeast,there was no significant difference in fermentation products at the top and bottom layers of silos( P > 0. 05); there were significant differences in contents of lactic acid,acetic acid,1,2-propanediol,and yeast between the outer and inner parts of silos( P < 0. 05); except to p H values and acetic acid,there were significant differences in fermentation products between bunker silos( P < 0. 05). [Conclusion]No 1,2-propanediol is detected out in laboratory bag silos due to relatively simple fermentation products. However,1,2-propanediol can be detected in the bunker silos due to complex outdoor environment for silage,and the microorganisms producing 1,2-propanediol exist in silos.展开更多
