The solids were characterized by XRD, N-2 adsorption, TGA, XPS, TPD-NH3 and FTIR-Pyridine. Results indicated a specific surface area of 144 and 108 m(2)/g and an average pore diameter of 44 and 76 angstrom to NB and NB-AL respectively. The solids presented similar density of acid sites (6.0 for NB and 5.7 mu molNH(3)/m(2) for NB-AL), but different strength distribution of the acid sites. Moreover, the fraction of Bronsted acid sites on NB was 27%, whereas on NB-AL it was only 2%. Concerning the catalytic tests, the highest conversion of xylose for NB and NB-AL (99.0 and 91.1%, respectively) was achieved for the reactions at 160 degrees C in water/isopropanol mixture, whilst the highest selectivities to furfural were obtained in reactions with water at 160 degrees C (60.1% to NB and 35.1% to NB-AL). Finally, using water as solvent, the selectivity to furfural increased with both catalysts at the highest temperature, though the carbon balance decreased CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQ FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPES Fechado |
