![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Supported Cu catalysts for the selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propanediols Supported Cu catalysts for the selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propanediols](/preview/png/42437.png)
Supported Cu catalysts were synthesized and applied to convert glycerol, a renewable feedstock, to value-added propanediols. Among these catalysts, the γ-Al2O3 supported Cu catalysts showed superior performance. Unlike most supported precious metal catalysts, the scission of C–C bonds was successfully suppressed on the Cu/Al2O3 catalysts without a sacrifice of glycerol conversion. The experimental results combined with the characterization studies using temperature programmed reduction (TPD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques revealed that the optimal Cu loading was 2.7 mmol of Cu metal/g of γ-Al2O3 and that the suitable pre-reduction temperature was 300 °C. The Cu/Al2O3 catalyst with the optimized amount of Cu showed a selectivity to propanediols about 96.8% with a glycerol conversion about 49.6% under mild reaction conditions (220 °C, 1.5 MPa initial H2 pressure, 10 h, Cu/glycerol molar ratio 3:100). Compared with a commonly used commercial copper chromite catalyst, the Cu/Al2O3 presented much higher activity, selectivity and Cu usage efficiency and is non-toxic.
