Hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived glycerol is an alternative route to produce 1,2- propanediol. A series of transition metals supported on dolomite catalysts (Cu/Dol, Ni/Dol, Co/ Dol, Fe/Dol, Zn/Dol) were prepared via impregnation, calcined at 500 C and reduced at 600 C. The synthesized catalysts we...
