Abstract:Hydrogenation of glucose into sorbitol has been a concern of researchers for a long time because it is an efficient and economical way of producing sorbitol. The researchers look for alternative metals that are higher in abundance and have good hydrogenation activity, such as nickel. In this study, porous nickel was prepared and used as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of glucose to sorbitol without adding hydrogen gas. The porous nickel needs two stages of making. First, prepare the Ni/Al metal alloys from th… Show more
