Popis: A series of platinum beta zeolites with different well-defined acid properties were tested in cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation. The acetal formation was found to be related to the amount of acid sites on the external surface of the zeolite. The acidity of the beta zeolite influenced the platinum dispersion, and the activity of the catalysts increased with total acidity of the beta zeolite. In general, platinum activates the CO group of cinnamaldehyde. Because of the acidity of the support, however, only hydrocinnamaldehyde and acetals were formed with catalysts with 0.5 wt% platinum loading. The highest selectivity to cinnamyl alcohol (27%) was obtained with the 5 wt% platinum catalyst, as a result of the isomerisation of hydrocinnamaldehyde.
