A CATALYTIC PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PROPYLENE GLYCOL FROM GLYCEROL, A COPPER AND CERIUM CATALYST, AND A PROCESS TO PRODUCE SUCH CATALYST

摘要

A process for producing propylene glycol from glycerol including a catalyst of Cu and Ce at concentrations of up to 15% of each metal. In addition, it is described a catalyst of Cu and Ce to perform the selective reduction of glycerol and the process of production of such catalyst.
