Abstract
⺠Glycerol hydrogenolysis over Ni-Cu/Al2O3, N2 pressure, and formic acid as H-donor. ⺠Ni-Cu alloy formation decreases C-C bond cleavage and increases 1,2-PDO selectivity. ⺠Acid sites and metal sites play a role in H-transfer from formic acid to glycerol. ⺠The OH groups of 1,2-PDO and glycerol compete for adsorption in the acid sites. ⺠A 90% glycerol conversion and 80% selectivity to 1,2-PDO were reported after 24 h.
