Cu-Cr2O3 catalysts were prepared by the coprecipitation method.The effect of Cu content on catalytic performance for hydrogenation of methyl difluoroacetate to 2
2-difluoroethanol was investigated.The catalysts were characterized with XRD
H2-TPR
BET and Raman techniques.The results showed that the reduced Cu-Cr2O3 catalysts contained mainly Cu and Cr2O3
while catalysts with a high Cu content (e.g.30 Cu-Cr2O3 and 50 Cu-Cr2O3) contained CuCr2O4 and CuCrO2 oxides.It was also found that with increasing Cu content
conversion of methyl difluoroacetate first increased and then slightly decreased and selectivity to 2
2-difluoroethanol was about 70%.The 30Cu-Cr2O3 catalyst exhibited the highest conversion of 97%.In addition
conversion of methyl difluoroacetate increased gradually in bi-component Cu-Cr2O3 catalysts with increasing Cu content
which was probably due to the presence of CuCr2O4 and CuCrO2 oxides.
