Vapor-Phase Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol to 1,2-Propanediol over Cu/Al2O3 Catalyst at Ambient Hydrogen Pressure

In this paper, we report that the hydrogenolysis of glycerol can be carried out at atmospheric pressure and low temperature with high selectivity to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) over reduced copper catalyst. The vapor-phase reaction was carried out over the copper-based catalysts supported on alumina a...
