Abstract

MFM-300(Sc) was explored as a catalyst for the gas-phase hydrogenation of acetone. The catalysis results support the presence of non-permanent open Sc(iii) sites within the structure due to the requirement of Lewis acid sites for the reaction to proceed. The open Sc(iii) sites are generated in situ due to the presence of hemilabile Sc-O bonds. MFM-300(Sc) showed high mechanical and chemical stability, and the crystalline structure was maintained after the catalytic reaction. The catalytic activity of the material was quantified by performing a gas-phase reaction using a continuous flow reactor. The acetone conversion in MFM-300(Sc) was estimated to be 27.7% with no loss of activity after catalytic cycles.
