Kinetic model for the formation of 1,2-propanediol via liquid-phase glycerol hydrogenolysis was developed in presence of a layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursor derived Cu0.45Zn0.15Mg5.4Al2O9 catalyst. A new reaction pathway of glycerol hydrogenolysis is proposed. The exptl. concentrations of feed and products were fitted in the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) model. The model equations were solved by ode23s in MATLAB. The kinetic variables were estimated by minimizing the residual sum of squares between the exptl. and model-predicted concentrations of feed and products. Results suggested that the LHHW model satisfactorily correlated with the exptl. data. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1,2-Propanediol (cas: 57-55-6Synthetic Route of C3H8O2).
1,2-Propanediol (cas: 57-55-6) belongs to alcohols. Alcohols are among the most common organic compounds. They are used as sweeteners and in making perfumes, are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of other compounds, and are among the most abundantly produced organic chemicals in industry. Secondary alcohols are easily oxidized without breaking carbon-carbon bonds only as far as the ketone stage. No further oxidation is seen except under very stringent conditions.Synthetic Route of C3H8O2
