Robust CoAl Alloy: Highly Active, Reusable and Green Catalyst in the Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol

摘要

CoAl alloy catalyst is found, for the first time, to be highly active, selective and reusable for the synthesis of diols via the hydrogenolysis of glycerol under mild conditions. The products and the catalyst could be self-separated from the reaction system through a simple reactor.
