Catalytic glycerol conversion into 1,2-propanediol in absence of added hydrogen.
Conversion of glycerol into high yields of 1,2-propanediol in absence of added hydrogen is possible with Pt impregnated NaY zeolite characterized by extra-zeolitic metal particles combined with zeolite Brønsted acidity.
