Selective transformation of glycerol,a byproduct in the production of biodiesel,into high value-added 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) is an important reaction to polyester industry.W-based catalysts have been widely investigated for this reaction.In this presentation,we report a novel tungsten oxide supported Pt catalyst (Pt/WOx) for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol.
