title: Highly selective and efficient hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to alcohols using titania supported Pt catalysts.
abstract: Selective hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to alcohols and alkanes has been achieved under remarkably mild reaction temperatures and H(2) pressures (333 K, 0.5 MPa) using Pt/TiO(2) catalyst.
