Glycerol hydrogenolysis over a Pt–Ni bimetallic catalyst with hydrogen generated in situ

Abstract

Using hydrogen generated in situ from aqueous phase reforming provides an efficient and economic route for glycerol hydrogenolysis. A Pt–Ni bimetallic catalyst supported on γ-Al2O3 has been prepared to catalyze the selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol, with glycerol conversion reaching 71.4% in 3 h. The significant promotion of conversion and selectivity could be explained by the formation of Pt–Ni alloy based on catalyst characterization. The effects of Pt/Ni ratio, reaction temperature and reaction time on the conversion of glycerol as well as product selectivity were also investigated.
