Abstract
The conversion of glucose and sorbitol in the presence of Ru and Pt catalysts supported on carbon was carried out at different pressure and temperature conditions, using a batch and a semi-batch reactor. Attempts were made to improve the selectivity of glycols and alcohols (ethanol), introducing a promoter and inhibiter of the hydrogenolysis in the reactant mixture. On the basis of these results, which confirm the higher activity of Ru with respect to Pt, and the important role of an inhibitor like sulphur, the mechanism driving these reactions and the promising thermocatalytic conditions are clearer.
