Physico-Chemical Study of Nano and Bulk Ru/FTO Heterogeneous Catalyst for Synthesis of 1,2-Propanediol

Abstract:

A selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol has been attempted using an active nanosize and bulk size of Ru/FTO catalyst. The two approaches gives 1,2-propanediol as a main product. The higher conversion and selectivity was obtained at 99% and 94% for the bulky size of the catalyst, while nanosize catalyst give 89% of glycerol conversion and 97% 1,2-PDO selectivity. The Ru/FTO (7.5%) of metal loading, 150°C, 20 bar hydrogen pressure, and 8h was observed as an optimized reaction condition.
