Abstract:Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) kinetics of glycerol into 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) in the liquid phase is studied on Cu-Pd/TiO 2 catalysts. At a stirring speed higher than 480 rpm and an average diameter of the catalyst particles smaller than 89.5 μm, no mass transfer resistance artifacts are observed. The increasing temperature and H 2 concentration promote the glycerol conversion and the selectivity to 1,2-PDO and disfavor the selectivity to acetol. Based on the experimental data, empirical kinetic pseudo-homogene… Show more
