Pt/C, Ru/C, Ni/C, Re/C and PtNi/C, PtRe/C catalysts were studied in xylitol APR to determine the most efficient metal as well as a method of catalyst preparation. PtRe compared to Pt and PtNi showed higher selectivity to alkanes. Inferior performance was seen for Ru/C and Pt/C prepared from colloidal NPs.
