Hydrogenation of di-Me oxalate (DMO) is one of the key steps in the route of ethylene glycol (EG) production from syngas. Cu/SiO2 catalysts prepared by ammonia evaporation method are reported to present excellent catalytic performance for selective DMO hydrogenation and used in the industry. However, the selectivity of EG and the long-term stability of catalysts still require improvement. Herein, we used silane coupling agents to selectively and efficiently cover the surface isolated hydroxyl groups on Cu/SiO2 by post-grafting method, which exhibited a prominently promotion effect on reducing the selectivity of byproducts (C3-C4OH) and enhancing the catalytic stability. Characterization results suggested that both the d. and intensity of the basic sites decreased significantly after the coverage of hydroxyl groups, resulting in the reduction of C3-C4OH selectivity, thus increasing the EG selectivity. Meanwhile, the coke and blocked pore structure induced by excessive Me glycolate (MG) adsorption and polymerization on surface hydroxyl groups could be the main reason for catalyst deactivation. After the surface modification, MG desorption was greatly facilitated, which improved the stability in DMO hydrogenation. Furthermore, the effect of different silane coupling agents ended with amino or alkyl groups was studied as well. These insights concerning the effect of covering hydroxyl groups by silane coupling agents on selectivity and stability may provide practical guidance for the design and fabrication of Cu/SiO2 catalysts for the industrial application.
