The isomerization of glucose using HZSM-5, H beta, HY, and USY zeolites showed excellent selectivity towards fructose, with HY zeolite exhibiting high Lewis acid density and large porous structure that facilitate the reaction.
HZSM-5, H beta, HY and USY zeolites were applied to the isomerization of glucose. An excellent selectivity (96%) of fructose was achieved, catalyzed by HY zeolite in gamma-butyrolactone/H2O over the fixed bed reactor. Moreover, the glucose isomerization could be carried out for over 480 h under the optimal conditions. High density of Lewis acid (0.27 mmol.g(-1)) over HY facilitates the intramolecular C-2 -> C-1 H-shift reaction over the glucopyranose ring, which is the rate-determining step during Lewis acid-catalyzed steps of the glucose isomerization. Besides, large porous structure of HY zeolite (7.4 angstrom) facilitates the isomerization of glucose.
