The present work explores the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to produce 1,2-propanediol in vapor phase at atmospheric pressure over copper catalysts supported on mesoporous alumina. Catalysts were prepared by alumina impregnation ...

The influence of Pt addition (in very low concentrations) to a Ni/(10%)/Al 2O 3 catalyst in its catalytic performance during long-term experiments of dry reforming of methane was studied. The monometallic Pt(0.5%)/Al 2O 3 ...

Los reactores catalíticos de lecho fijo presentan desventajas operativas como distribución de flujo deficiente y perfiles de temperatura no homogéneos. Por ello, la comunidad científica invierte esfuerzos en el estudio de ...

Alumina is an important support for heterogeneous catalysts. The matching of appropriate alumina physical properties and controlled textural properties can improve its performance as support in catalysis applications. ...

Supported niobium pentoxide catalysts are active for a variety of acid and redox catalyzed reactions such as dehydration, hydrogenation and esterification. In this work, niobium pentoxide has been supported on silica–alumina ...

Sorbitol and xylitol are value-added renewable chemicals that can be obtained from biomass through the hydrogenation of monosaccharides (glucose and xylose, respectively) using ruthenium-based catalysts. This paper reports ...
