SiO2 supported Ni-In intermetallic compounds: Efficient for selective hydrogenation of fatty acid methyl esters to fatty alcohols
Ni/SiO2 and SiO2 supported Ni2In, NiIn and Ni2In3 intermetallic compounds (IMCs) were prepared by the sol-gel method and tested for the selective hydrogenation of methyl esters to fatty alcohols. It was found that the Ni phyllosilicate formed during the sol-gel process leads to high Ni dispersion. In IMCs, the Ni atoms are homogeneously isolated by the In ones and the charge is transferred from In to Ni. In the selective hydrogenation, decarbonylation/decarboxylation dominatingly occur on Ni/SiO2, while SiO2 supported IMCs mainly give fatty alcohols, and the yield of fatty alcohol can reach above 94 %. We suggest that it is the synergetic effect between Ni and In that facilitates the selective hydrogenation to yield fatty alcohols. The catalyst stability was also investigated, and the catalyst deactivation is mainly ascribed to the carbonaceous deposit.
