报告的摘要：

Development of high-performance solid acid catalysts for chemicals and materials production from biomass feedstock has become an important research topic in heterogeneous catalysis for renewable energy and green chemistry. As a bio-derived platform molecule, lactic acid can be dehydrated to acrylic acid, which is an important intermediate for a number of key chemicals and materials. Research efforts to develop highly efficient and selective solid acid-base catalysts for this lactic acid-to-acrylic acid (LTA) reaction would entitle a green and sustainable alternative to current commercial acrylic acid production technology based on petroleum. In this talk, I will introduce the catalytic performance of various K⁺-exchanged zeolites (ZSM-22, ZSM-35, MCM-22, ZSM-11, ZSM-5, ZSM-5/ZSM-11 and β) for the gas-phase dehydration of lactic acid to produce acrylic acid, and discuss the effects of zeolite type (or framework structure), K⁺ exchange degree and SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratio.Discussion of the correlation between the catalyst acid–base properties and product selectivity of the LTA reaction will be also presented.
