Article history: Received March 17, 2019 Received in revised form May 20, 2019 Accepted May 28, 2019 Available online May 30, 2019 This paper is interested in mechanism of lactic acid (LA) adsorption and dehydration into acrylic acid (AA) over tin and iron beta zeolite (Snand Fe-BEA) catalysts. The electronic structure of clusters was calculated by ab initio density functional theory (DFT) method. The M2Si12O39H22 (hierarchical zeolite) and M2Si22O64H32 (ideal zeolite) clusters (M=Al, Si, Sn) were used in the LA dehydration reaction. The stabilization of the dimeric complex M-Ob-M (where M= Sn or Fe) in the BEA, ideal and hierarchical structure, was investigated. Possible modes of interaction of lactic acid with different cations (Si, Al, Fe or Sn) in the BEA zeolite framework as well as with added iron and tin dimers were considered. The interaction of lactic acid was only observed above the M-Ob-M dimer. The direct mechanism of lactic acid dehydration into acrylic acid was found over metal M-Ob-M dimers deposited at the BEA zeolite.
