A multi-functional catalyst, which is able to perform both retro-aldol reactions followed by hydrogenation, is required to convert cellulose into value-added chemicals such as ethylene glycol (EG) in a one-pot reaction.

Catalytic systems based on tungsten carbide (WnC) containing mainly W2C were obtained by the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis from a mechanochemically activated mixture of tungsten oxide, metallic magnesium, carbon black and CaCO3. The phase composition of the formed materials was shown to depend on the amount of CaCO3. The catalytic properties of the materials were tested in the hydrolysis-hydrogenation of cellulose to ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,2-propylene glycol (PG). It was established that in the presence of WnC the main products of the reaction were EG and PG with a ratio of PG/EG – 1.5-1.8. The deposition of nickel nanoparticles on the WnC surface increased the reaction rate and product yields. The maximum total yield of diols was 47.1 mol. %.

The ratio of W to Ni is a crucial factor in controlling the production distribution for glucose and cellobiose conversion; the change of W/Ni ratio with Ni loading results from the change of W and Ni species distribution on the catalyst surface.

A highly active mixed catalyst consisting of PTA and Ru/AC was used for one-pot hydrothermal conversion of cellulose for EG production, and insights into the reaction pathways were obtained with the aid of cellobiose as a model compound.
