The catalytic hydrogenation of lactic acid to 1,2-propanediol with supported Ru catalysts in water was investigated. The influence of catalyst support (activated carbon, γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, SiO<sub>2</sub>, TiO<sub>2</sub>, and CeO<sub>2</sub>) and promoters (Pd, Au, Mo, Re, Sn) on the catalytic performance was evaluated. Catalytic tests revealed that TiO<sub>2</sub> yields the best Ru catalysts. With a monometallic Ru/TiO<sub>2</sub> catalyst, a 1,2-propanediol yield of 70 % at 79 % ...[more]
