Toward the Sustainable Synthesis of Propanols from Renewable Glycerol over MoO3-Al2O3 Supported Palladium Catalysts

The catalytic conversion of glycerol to value-added propanols is a promising synthetic route that holds the potential to overcome the glycerol oversupply from the biodiesel industry. In this study, selective hydrogenolysis of 10 wt% aqueous bio-glycerol to 1-propanol and 2-propanol was performed in...
