Effect of Bimetallic Co-Cu/dolomite catalyst on glycerol conversion to 1,2-propanediol

This present study examines the efficacy of using dolomite (Dol, CaMg(CO3)2)-supported copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) bimetallic and monometallic catalysts for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propylene glycol (PG; 1,2-PDO). The proposed catalysts were generated using the impregnation process before t...

Of all the synthesised catalysts tested in the hydrogenolysis process, the Co-Cu/Dol bimetallic catalyst performed best, with an 80.3% glycerol conversion and 85.9% PG selectivity at a pressure of 4 MPa, a temperature of 200°C, and a reaction time of 10 hours.
