The synthesis of propylene glycol and ethylene glycol from glycerol using Raney Ni as a versatile catalyst
An-Yuan Yin, Xiu-Ying Guo, Wei-Lin Dai and Kang-Nian Fan
A new energy-efficient and atom-economical catalytic route for the direct catalytic synthesis of propylene glycol and ethylene glycol from glycerol under milder reaction conditions is presented. The one-pot aqueous-phase process is based on Raney Ni as a versatile catalyst.
