Reaction Steps
20 wt % glycerol was dehydrated at nitrogen ambient pressure at 220° C. using 80 g of 2-propanol as solvent. 0.01 g/ml of 67% Cu and 33% Cr catalyzed the reaction for 5 h to give glycerol conversion of 37% with 86% selectivity to hydroxyacetone, 10% 1,2-propylene glycol, 4% ethylene glycol and <0.01% to other products.
