Progress in Production of 1, 3-propanediol From Selective Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol

1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) is an important bulk chemical widely used in the polyester and polyurethane industry. The selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to value-added 1,3-PDO is extremely attractive. However, the formation of 1,3-PDO is less thermodynamically stable than 1,2-PDO, and the steric hin...
