Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol over NiCeZr Catalyst Modified with Mg, Cu, and Sn at the Surface Level.

ABSTRACT: Biomass valorization is an essential strategy for converting organic resources into valuable energy and chemicals, contributing to the circular economy, and reducing carbon footprints. Glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel production, can be used as a feedstock for a variety of high-value products and can contribute to reducing the carbon footprint. This study examines the impact of surface-level modifications of Mg, Cu, and Sn on Ni-Ce-Zr catalysts for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol, with in situ generated hydrogen. The aim of this approach is to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the biomass valorization process. However, the surface modification resulted in a decrease in the global conversion of glycerol due to the reduced availability of metal sites. The study found that valuabl
