Key Points

Enhanced production of 1,2-propanediol was achieved through optimized bimetallic catalysts.
Using NiCu catalysts increased 1,2-PD yield significantly when using SiO2-Al2O3 and AlO(OH) supports.
The research employed glycerol dehydration-hydrogenation to maximize conversion rates of glycerol into chemicals.
These findings may enable more effective processes for renewable chemical production using glycerol sources.

Implication

Catalysts improved 1,2-propanediol production in glycerol processes using multiple supports, suggesting efficiency gains.

Abstract

The activity of NiCu bimetallic catalysts on various commercial supports (SiO2-Al2O3 and SiO2) and synthesized pristine supports (AlO(OH), Al-TUD-1 and meso-TiO2) in glycerol dehydration-hydrogenation for making 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) was investigated....
