The Promoting Effect of Ni on Glycerol Hydrogenolysis to 1,2-Propanediol with In Situ Hydrogen from Methanol Steam Reforming Using a Cu/ZnO/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Catalyst

Production of green chemicals using a biomass derived feedstock is of current interest. Among the processes, the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) using externally supplied molecular hydrogen has been studied quite extensively. The utilization of methanol present in crude glycer...
