Abstract:
The Ni/AC catalyst was prepared by impregnation method. The catalyst was characterized by XRD,H2TPR and tested in the reaction of glycerol hydrogenolysis to diols. The effect of heat treatment conditions of Ni/AC catalyst, reaction conditions and the addition of NaOH on the performance of the catalyst in the reaction were investigated. The results show that Ni/AC reveals very low the conversion of glycerol in the absence of NaOH; whereas, the glycerin conversion was improved obviously with the addition of NaOH. The Ni/AC catalyst reduced directly by hydrogen at 350℃ show the best catalytic performance.
