Popis: The investigation deals with search of effective catalysts of propylene glycol obtaining from glucose as renewable raw material. The hydrogenolysis of 20 % aqueous glucose solution in a flow reactor over copper oxide catalysts at 120–220 °C and 4.0 MPa has been studied. It has been found that Сu/MgO-ZrO 2 and Cu-СаО-Cr 2 О 3 /Аl 2 O 3 catalysts provide 65–66 % yield of C 2 -C 3 polyols at a 90 % glucose conversion at 180 °C. The maximum selectivity for propylene glycol (64 %) is achieved over Сu/MgO-ZrO 2 catalyst where copper is supported on high-basic (H − £+27.0) MgO-ZrO 2 mixed oxide. The scheme of glucose hydrogenolysis is discussed: the opening of pyranose ring – isomerization of fructose - C3-C4 decondensation – glycerol dehydration – hydrogenation of pyruvic aldehyde to propylene glycol.
