Enhanced activity of Ru/TiO 2 catalyst using bisupport, bentonite-TiO 2 for hydrogenolysis of glycerol in aqueous media

A combination of bentonite-TiO 2 was used as support to enhance the activity of Ru/TiO 2 catalyst in hydrogenolysis of aqueous glycerol to 1,2-propanediol. A series of bentonite, TiO 2, SiO 2 and Al 2O 3 supported Ru catalyst were fabricated and characterized by XRD, XPS, BET, FESEM-EDX and TEM to e...
