A series of Cu/dolomite catalysts were synthesized using the impregnation technique, characterized using NH3–TPD, FTIR-Pyridine, XRD, H2-TPR, BET, BJH, FESEM-EDX, and XPS techniques and evaluated in glycerol hydrogenolysis into 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO). Remarkably, dolomite support exhibited high a...
