The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethyl lactate to ethyl pyruvate was investigated using iron and vanadium antimonates as catalysts. The catalysts were optimized to achieve high conversion and selectivity, with the active and selective catalytic sites corresponding to surface V5+ species.
The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethyl lactate to ethyl pyruvate, corresponding to the first step of a new process in the industrial production of methionine, has been investigated. Iron and vanadium antimonates were developed as catalysts, and were optimized to reach 87 % conversion of ethyl lactate, with 88 % selectivity to ethyl pyruvate, at only 275 ?C. The catalysts were characterized before and after catalytic testing, and in situ using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and XANES spectroscopy. The results show that neither the Sb3+/Sb5+ nor the Fe2+/Fe3+ redox couple were involved in the dehydrogenation of ethyl lactate, or in the catalysts re-oxidation. The active and selective catalytic sites correspond to surface V5+ species. These species should not be considered as part of the bulk oxide, but as suprasurface species whose surface content is monitored with the bulk composition.
