Conversion of Glycerol into 1, 2-propanediol over Cu-Cr Catalyst

In the hydrogenolysis of glycerol over Cu-Cr catalysts, the activity of Cu can be tuned depending on the Cr content. the catalytic activity of Cu-Cr catalyst on hydrogenolysis of glycerol is promoted by Cr addition and is influenced metallic or acid-aid metallic properties depending on Cr contents.
