Samenvatting

Aromatization of furan and substituted furans over zeolite catalysts is a promising reaction to convert cellulose-derived compounds into valuable aromatic hydrocarbons and light olefins. A lack of understanding of the reaction mechanism however hinders further development of this process. Here, we propose the reaction mechanism, underlying the chemistry of furan and methanol co-aromatization over HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst. Applying 13C isotope labeling in a combination with NMR spectroscopy and high temporal resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, we demonstrate that aromatization of furan and methanol are not mechanistically separated and can be described within the dual-cycle hydrocarbon pool mechanism. Cofeeding furan with methanol leads to a significant enhancement of light aromatics selectivity and increased catalyst lifetime.
