For the first time, waste-seashell-derived CaO catalysts were used as high-performance solid base catalysts for cyclopentanone self-condensation, which is an important reaction in bio-jet fuel or perfume precursor synthesis. Among the investigated seashell-derived catalysts, Scapharca Broughtonii-derived CaO catalyst (S-shell-750) exhibited the highest dimer yield (92.1%), which was comparable with commercial CaO (88.2%). The activity sequence of different catalysts was consistent with the CaO purity sequence and contact angle sequence. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that CaCO3 in waste shell were completely converted to CaO after calcination at 750 °C or above for 4 h. CO2 temperature-programmed desorption (CO2-TPD) results indicate that both the amount and strength of base sites increase significantly when the calcination temperature climbs to 750 °C. Therefore, we can attribute the excellent performance of S-shell-750/850/950 catalysts to the higher CaO content, relatively low hydrophilicity, and stronger acidity and basicity of this catalyst. This study developed a new route for waste shell utilization in bio-derived ketone aldol condensation.

The vapor-phase aldol condensation of methyl acetate (MeOAC) with formaldehyde (HCHO) to form methyl acrylate was investigated over solid base catalysts. A variety of solid base catalysts were prepared by loading Cs2O over SiO2 or Al2O3 as the support materials. The properties of the solid base catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET and CO2-TPD. The results of the vapor-phase aldol condensation indicated that SiO2 and Al2O3 modified with Cs2O showed high conversation of methyl acetate and high selectivity of methyl acrylate. 22.6% conversation of methyl acetate and 16.5% yield of acrylic acid and methyl acrylate were obtained over Cs-Al2O3. In addition, Cs-SiO2 exhibited about 42% selectivity to methyl acetate. The high yield of acrylic acid and methyl acrylate is attributed to the high base property of catalysts.

Mg-Al composite oxide (MgAlY-LDO) solid base catalysts were prepared via the coprecipitation method, followed by calcinations at high temperatures. Isophorone synthesis from acetone condensation was also investigated. The catalysts were characterized via X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, CO2 temperature-programmed desorption, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. After doping with Y, the MgAl-LDO showed higher catalytic activity at a reaction temperature of 300 °C, 100 kPa and WHSV 6.3 h-1. Furthermore, the conversion of acetone and the selectivity of isophorone increased from 17.8% and 11.0% to 37.5% and 58.7%, respectively. These results indicate that the basicity of MgAlY-LDO as well as the number of its strong base centers increased after Y doping. The pore volume and size of MgAlY-LDO increased because of the increased hydrotalcite layer space caused by the big Y3+ ion. However, the crystal structure of hydrotalcite was remained. Y2O3 was evenly dispersed in MgAlY-LDO at low Y doping amounts. As the doping amount increased, the layer structure of hydrotalcite became distorted, thereby affecting the crystallinity of the hydrotalcite. Some Y3+ ions emerged from the Mg2+ lattice after doping with a high Y3+ concentration.
