The Production of 1, 3-Propanediol by Aqueous Phase Reforming of Glycerol over Nickel Based Catalyst

1,3-Propanediol is a colourless liquid at room conditions and has a huge demand in the textile industry due to its stability, strength, and specialized monomer. As it is conventionally produced by hydrocarbon routes, the production of 1,3- propanediol has been less sustainable due to the fact tha...
