Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a solid catalyst capable of achieving high selectivity and high yield for isosorbide, preferably at the same time, in a dehydration reaction by which dianhydrosugar alcohol is obtained from a sugar alcohol, particularly, in a dehydration reaction by which isosorbide is obtained from sorbitol. The above-mentioned problem is solved by a solid catalyst for a dehydration reaction for preparing dianhydrosugar alcohol from sugar alcohol, said catalyst including an H-type β zeolite having an atomic composition ratio of Si to Al (Si/Al) of more than 20.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A solid, catalyst for a dehydration catalyst, comprising an H-type β zeolite having an atomic composition ratio of Si to Al (Si/Al) of more than 20. 2. The solid, dehydration catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the Si/Al ratio is 400 or less. 3. A method for producing a dianhydrosugar alcohol from a sugar alcohol, comprising bringing the sugar alcohol into contact with the catalyst according to claim 1 . 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the amount of the H-type β zeolite contained in the catalyst is 5 to 60 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the sugar alcohol. 5. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising maintaining the sugar alcohol brought into contact with the catalyst under ambient pressure or under reduced pressure. 6. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising maintaining the sugar alcohol brought into contact with the catalyst at a temperature of 110° C. to 170° C. 7. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising maintaining the sugar alcohol brought into contact with the catalyst for 1.5 hours or more. 8. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the sugar alcohol is selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, mannitol and iditol. 9. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the sugar alcohol is sorbitol, and the dianhydrosugar alcohol is isosorbide.
