Abstract

BACKGROUND: The selective conversion of cellulose to gluconic acid under mild conditions is challenging as it has abundant intra-and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds that protect the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds and make it intrinsically recalcitrant to depolymerize.

RESULTS: Au-Pd/TiO2and Au-Pt/TiO2catalysts prepared by sol immobilization method without pre-treatment are active and selective for the oxidation of glucose and cellobiose to gluconic acid under base-free conditions. Important preparation parameters are the pre-treatment of the catalyst and the metal ratio.

CONCLUSION: The optimized catalyst provided a good yield of gluconic acid from cellobiose and has opened up a new catalyst system for cellobiose conversion in terms of a heterogeneous catalyst.
