Diols
selective catalytic hydrogenolysis of glycerol represents a low cost and green route for 1,2-propanediol which is a major commodity chemical used in the production of antifreeze functional fluids, paints and polyester resins.
due to a presence of -OH functional groups, diols can be converted to aldehydes, esters, amines and carboxylic acids
Hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-PD
Supported catalysts- Batch reactor :
Yuan (2010) - 180°C, 3 MPa, cat. CuO/MgO, conv. of GLY - 72%, sel. to 1,2-PD - 97 %
Zhao (2010) - 200°C, 6 MPa, cat. Ni/Na-X, conv. of GLY - 86 %,sel. to 1,2-PD - 94 %
Xia (2012) - 180°C, 2 MPa, cat. Cu-Pd/solid base, conv. of GLY - 70%, sel. to 1,2-PD -
98%
- Down-flow reactor:
Zhou (2010) - 220°C, 4 MPa, cat. CuO-ZnO-Al2O3, conv. of GLY - 81%, sel. to 1,2-PD -
93%
Zheng (2010) - 250°C, 4 MPa, cat. Cu/SBA-15, conv. of GLY - 96%, sel. to 1,2-PD - 90

Hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-PD
Unsupported catalysts
- batch reactor:
Kim (2010) - 220°C, 8 MPa, Cu-Cr-O cat., different methods of catalyst
preparation (wet impregnation, co-precipitation), important is the formation
of CuCr2O4 structure
- different activity for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol is caused by various
forms of copper in the catalyst structure
Mane (2011) - 220°C, 7 MPa, effect of promoters (Al, Ba, Zn) to Cu-Cr-O cat.
