Production of value added chemical product from glycerol, used as a co-product in biodiesel, is essential in sustaining bio-diesel industry. The Fe-Co catalyst over alumina is developed and characterized for application in the hydrogenolysis of glycerol using in situ hydrogen, produced during dehydrogenation of glycerol to lactic acid. The catalyst Fe-Co was developed by wet impregnation method and was subsequently loaded on alumina. The loaded catalyst was characterized by FTIR, SEM and XRD to analyze their structure & structural morphology and their potential application for the hydrogenolysis reaction of glycerol is analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
