This present study examines the efficacy of using dolomite (Dol, CaMg(CO3)2)-supported copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) bimetallic and monometallic catalysts for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propylene glycol (PG; 1,2-PDO). The proposed catalysts were generated using the impregnation process before t...
